...fact, hard-line policies in general have been largely ineffective in dealing with the Cuban government. The country has not yet abandoned communism, nor has it acquiesced to U.S. demands to address human-rights violations, and Castro only relinquished power to his brother Raúl due to illness, not U.S. pressure. Relentless pursuit of traditional hard-line policies would simply continue to impede the progress of mending U.S.-Cuba relations...

There has also been a cascade of new policies to address the financial crisis - massive interventions in the housing and credit markets, a market-based plan to buy the toxic assets that many banks have on their books, a plan to bail out the auto industry and a strict new regulatory regime proposed for Wall Street.
