"Cuba has proved to be a remarkable survivor. It endured the loss of its chief sponsor, the former Soviet Union, in the early '90s. And it persists despite a 43-year-old economic war with the United States, the world's only superpower. Still, few dispute that the Cuban government faces many daunting challenges. Among them: Maintaining the revolution's social gains. Boosting wages. Satisfying the Cuban people, many of them hungry for change. And trying to ensure economic equality as free-market ideas and dollars seep into the system."
