NPR has recently posted an interesting story about life in Cuba after Fidel Castro. Things appear to be improving, and I can only assume they will do so exponentially when the old man finally assumes room temperature.

But this poses an interesting sociological question: as of 2000, 34% of Miami’s population was Cuban (collectivist paradises have a way of driving their populations in droves towards the nearest border with an exploitative capitalist economy). So what happens when conditions in their homeland begin to improve? I wrote a paper about this scenario once, but was unable to come to any firm conclusions.
