one of my exam questions recently was essentially asking which nation comes the closest to being pure capitalism...
the possible answers:
a) sweden
b) people's republic of china
c) united states
d) cuba
of course, if you are reading my blog...you should already know the answer
but what was particularly striking to me...a handful (a large handful) of students answered: cuba

"But when from a long-distant past nothing subsists, after the people are dead, after the things are broken and scattered, taste and smell alone, more fragile but more enduring, more unsubstantial, more persistent, more faithful, remain poised a long time, like souls, remembering, waiting, hoping, amid the ruins of all the rest; and bear unflinchingly, in the tiny and almost impalpable drop of their essence, the vast structure of recollection." -Swann's Way by Marcel Proust
