Summary: "This is the conclusion drawn by Cuba's president from thirty years' experience in advancing the fight for national liberation and socialism, both in Cuba and worldwide. Is economic and social progress possible without the dog-eat-dog competition of capitalism? Can men and women organize and consciously take control of their own destiny? How do they change themselves in the process? Is anti-imperialist solidarity decisive to defending and advancing Cuba's own socialist revolution? The four speeches in this book constitute a package in which Fidel Castro presents his views on these and may other fundamental political questions. All four were given in the weeks surrounding the thirtieth anniversary of the Cuban revolution celebrated on January 1, 1989." Form back of book
