While Capitalism collapses around the world, the Cuban economy is expected to grow 3.1% in 2012 -- embargo, mismanagement and corruption notwithstanding. The positive growth in Cuba (which surpasses that projected for the US) is credited to Raul Castro's 'new economic model' which is based on none other than the old Capitalist model. The Cuban government already predicts next year's economic growth to surpass this year's impressive margins.

"You have something special and important here. Somehow you manage to teach and suggest and introduce the reader to concepts in a way that feels inclusive. Like, we're thinking about it together. Partly it might be because the subject, bottom-up, is innately understood by all of us and so it feels like you're stirring up stuff we already know. But also I think it's because you truly are practiced at connection consciousness and so it's natural for you (I'm guessing) to write about it with a desire to include us. As a reader I was learning more because it feels like you're inviting me to think with you."
