Further Cuban Economic Reform

The AP reports that Cuban officials have announced the end to equal salaries.

The AP reports, in part, that “‘a vice minister of labor and social security Carlos “Mateu said that the new compensation system fits with the mantra of ’socialist distribution’ often mentioned by new President Raul Castro: ‘From each according to his ability, to each according to his work.’

“That’s meant to distinguish the current system from Cuba’s ideological goal, Karl Marx’s formula of communism: ‘From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.’”
