Cuba is in the midst of its worst economic crisis in decades, as escalating U.S. sanctions and a fuel blockade continue to create shortages of food, fuel, and other basic goods. But as the communist government’s state-run institutions fail, the island’s private sector is beginning to take off, thanks to a wave of reforms that have opened up Cuba’s economy more than at any time since the revolution.
