商品描述

This book is a collection of meticulously gathered interviews with government officials, ambassadors, and executives involved in foreign investment and economic development in Cuba. The interviews, many for the first time with a foreign journalist, are valuable from a historical perspective and as a story of development. It offers an "open window" on Cuba into a crucial segment of the country's economy, erroneously perceived by some as "shuttered" to the outside world.

This work is structured by the contextual history of Obama's opening with Cuba, the bleak days of Trump, the Havana Syndrome, the onset of the pandemic, the election of Biden, and his "unmet promises", through to economic recovery of the island under the post-pandemic normal. It highlights the work of the ones who lead and invest, create opportunities for themselves and others, initiate change, trigger sustainable development, build infrastructure, improve lives, strengthen the economy, lessen suffering, and create hope. They stimulate forward progress. These are the visionaries with plans seeking to realize the full potential of Cuba, driving a new era of sustainable development and growth. By filling those gaps, this work is an important supplement for any future analysis seeking to examine the country's potential.

The book is divided into parts: government, economy, foreign investment, industrial zones, banking, law, and business, followed by interviews with top executives from Cuba's primary sectors. This "open window" on Cuba is a compelling fresh take that shows that Cuba is open for serious business.



Since 1985, T.K. Hernández has spent extended periods in Cuba as a journalist, a tourist, and with family. She has a Bachelor's degree from Western University and studied economic development at Oxford University. She is a member of the Society of Professional Journalists, ACES International Alliance of Editors, and the Canadian Network on Cuba. Sheis the author of two published books. Since early 2015, she is the co-founder and editor of the business news site, Cuba Business Report.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書是精心收集的訪談集,訪談對象包括政府官員、大使以及參與古巴外國投資和經濟發展的高層主管。這些訪談中,許多是首次與外國記者進行,從歷史的角度和發展故事的角度來看,具有重要的價值。它提供了一個關於古巴的“開放窗口”,讓人們了解該國經濟的一個關鍵部分,這部分經常被一些人錯誤地視為對外界“關閉”。

本書的結構以奧巴馬與古巴的開放政策、特朗普的陰霾日子、哈瓦那綜合症、疫情的爆發、拜登的當選及其“未實現的承諾”,直到疫情後島嶼的經濟復甦為主線。它突顯了那些領導和投資的人,他們為自己和他人創造機會,發起變革,促進可持續發展,建設基礎設施,改善生活,強化經濟,減輕痛苦,並創造希望。他們推動前進的進展。這些是有遠見的計劃者,尋求實現古巴的全部潛力,推動可持續發展和增長的新時代。通過填補這些空白,本書對任何未來分析古巴潛力的研究都是一個重要的補充。

本書分為幾個部分:政府、經濟、外國投資、工業區、銀行、法律和商業,隨後是對古巴主要行業高層主管的訪談。這個關於古巴的“開放窗口”提供了一個引人注目的新視角,顯示古巴對於認真商業活動是開放的。

自1985年以來,T.K. Hernández作為記者、遊客以及與家人一起在古巴度過了長時間。她擁有西方大學的學士學位,並在牛津大學學習經濟發展。她是專業記者協會、ACES國際編輯聯盟和加拿大古巴網絡的成員。她是兩本已出版書籍的作者。自2015年初以來,她是商業新聞網站Cuba Business Report的共同創辦人和編輯。
