"This debate has a special place in the history of Marxist thought." Ernest Mandel, author of Marxist Economic Theory and Late Capitalism
In the post-Soviet era, what is the relevance of Marxist economics? In the early years following the 1959 Cuban revolution, Ernesto Che Guevara initiated an unprecedented and highly controversial debate on the economic challenges of the "transition to socialism."
Without making it explicit, the model Che proposed for Cuba was clearly counterposed to what existed in the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, of which he was highly critical.
Internationally prominent Marxist economists such as Ernest Mandel and Charles Bettelheim participated in what became known as "The Great Debate." This historic debate is now published in English with recent commentaries by current day Marxist economists offering a unique resource for a new generation discussing alternatives to capitalism.
The publication of this book is particularly timely as Cuba today confronts an economic crisis and seeks to make dramatic changes to its economic system. This book adds an entirely new dimension to Che Guevara, beyond the young adventurer on a motorcycle or as a guerrilla icon, as a profound student of economic theory and practice.
Although trained as a doctor, Ernesto Che Guevara assumed two key posts after the 1959 revolution as Minister for Industry and President of the National Bank. In those roles he took primary responsibility to industrialize Cuba and transform its economy and immediately immersed himself in the study of political economy.
