If you calculate per cap GDP by HDI, (I call it kilobucks per unit wellbeing) or GHA by HDI (global hectares per unit wellbeing) Castro comes off as having even more impressive far-sighted policies - even though his policies are nearly 50 years old. Cuba’s per-head GDP (purchasing power parity) is pretty much the same as india’s.
