In the early 1990s the sudden collapse of the Soviet Union and the socialist market created an unprecedented challenge. Yet Cubäs scientific system substantially resiled, despite unavoidable setbacks. This crisis was faced by confirming and reinforcing government support for biotechnology, with the result that today Cuba excels at a global level in the typical capital-intensive field of biotechnology.
While this book is especially devoted to historians of science and technology and to biotechnologists, it is of interest to the general public.
