This paper will discuss the nature of
tobacco and sugar in the Cuban
economy, and will show how they differ in the greater
scope of the Cuban
economy. By showing the statistics of how the sale of each of these items plays a part in the survival of Cuba, we can begin to see the ideas of how they interact within the value of their production value. By using the book "Cuban Counterpoint
Tobacco and Sugar" by Fernando Ortiz, we can see how these values are created within the Cuban economic structure.
