Presented by Dr. Paolo Spadoni, Associate Professor in the Dept. of Social Sciences at Augusta University
Moderated by Dr. Ludovico Feoli, Executive Director of the Center for Inter-American Policy and Research at Tulane

At the beginning of 2021, the Cuban economy is more precarious than ever. Dr. Spadoni will analyze recent macroeconomic trends and identify the systemic problems and external factors negatively affecting the country’s economic performance. The Cuban economy's future prospects now depend on recently announced economic reforms and the Biden administration's policies toward the island.
