By turning his agrarian reform against bigness rather than inefficiency, Castro may well scare off all U.S. capital and thereby slow Cuba's growth toward a diversified economy. As Mexico and Puerto Rico have proved, diversification provides new jobs and takes most of the fire away from the land-reform issue. Only 55% of Mexico...
