Document Summary
Guevara did not have a lot of success in reestablishing cuba"s economyhis goal was to create the new socialist man . His industrialization plan was near a total failure. His demand for an uncompromising approach to socialism led him into policy conflicts with the soviet union. Because of this he alienated many of cuba"s workers when he revoked all material incentives for work productions. There was a lack of money to fund development, an absence of any established markets, and a lack of advanced technology. His policies led to conflict with the soviet union. Led to alienation of many cuban citizens. His role as the president of the national bank of cuba seemed to be a failure at this point. Because of this, weakened agriculture industry and food shortages were a result. Guevara criticized the soviet union for not providing the marxist nation with enough financial support.
