The labour minister announces a major reform to the communist country's state-controlled economy.

uhh can anyone debunk this if it isn't true, or clarify if this is some dengist thing

Labour Minister Marta Elena Feito said the list of authorised industries had expanded from 127 to more than 2,000.

Only a minority of industries would be reserved for the state, she said.

      Vietnam is probably a more apt comparison.

      I was more going for the angle of the allowance of private (perhaps non-worker controlled) businesses to have a presence in the country.

        It's one thing to allow a private sector, it's another to be run by private the private sector. I think some form of a private sector is going to be inevitable for any AES state that exists under capitalist global hegemony. How else are you supposed to interface with the global economy?

        That being said, if a there isn't a strong enforcement of labor rights and development of labor unions in tandem with that allowance, it's a bad sign. It's easier to trake over a private business of the workforce is organized into a union that friendly to the party.
