Robinson on Cuba

Here it is

It's always struck me as ironic that the United States is the country most associated with savage capitalism and the creative destruction of businesses while, at the same time, a dysfunctional, unproductive government policy can limp along for decades. What would the business equivalent to our Cuba policy be? If Eastern Airlines was still offering $12 tickets from Washington to New York? If New Coke was still on the shelves, selling three cases a year? And it's not just Cuba: the drug wars, farm subsidies, etc.
