On the next Your Call, we continue our Agenda for a New Economy series by talking about the future of Cuba. The Cuban government recently announced plans to lay off half a million state employees. That's about 10 percent of the state workforce. Who is going to be impacted? What are the economic realities in Cuba today? Join us live at 11 or send an email to feedback@yourcallradio.org. Why is Cuba restructuring its economy? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
Guests:
Frank Thompson, professor of economics at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor. He regularly lectures at La Universidad de La Habana.
Geoff Thale, Program Director at Washington Office on Latin America.

Your Call 022008 Post-Castro
Now that Castro is no longer leader, can Cuba stop being a symbol and start being a country? On the next Your Call we look at what is possible today that wasn't before Castro's announcement he would neither seek nor accept the Cuban presidency. What is life like at the dawn of the post-Castro era? Who will run the country? Will they continue Castro's efforts to give dignity to the poor without the intolerance of dissent? What opportunities do the left, the U.S. government and the Cubans have that they didn't on Monday? It's Your Call with Sandip Roy and you.
Guests:
Saul Landau in Alameda
Fellow at the Institute for Policy Studies and professor emeritus of Interdisciplinary and Applied Studies at Cal Poly Pomona
Delvis Fernández-Levy in San Luis Obispo
President and founder of the Cuba American Alliance Education Fund
