Given ASCE's work in promoting and delivering an evidence-based policy dialogue on the Cuban economy, it is not unusual to find our membership in the news, and of course, it is rewarding to see that the work of our membership does not go unnoticed. For example, we are proud that our 2011 conference keynote speaker, Prof. Carmelo Mesa-Lago, and long-time members Jorge Pérez-López, Rolando Castañeda and Arch Ritter, were listed as examples of ASCE's analysis by the former Cuban Minister of Economy and Planning José Luis Rodríguez García in a recent issue of Temas (No. 65 Jan–Mar 2011). In the article, the minister respectfully references ASCE at length, including its founding, the work of these four authors, and our annual conferences held in Miami since 1990. Subsequently in the issue No. 66 of Temas, Catalejo, Prof. Carmelo Mesa-Lago disputed some of the points of view of José Luis Rodríguez and entered into an interesting debate on the subject of what type socialism would be appropriate for Cuba.
