Look at Cuba's page on this website which ranks countries based on their levels of economic freedom (the freedom to make choices in buying and selling goods).

Question

What do you think about Cuba's rating of 28 out of 100, where 100 is the most free and 0 is the most restrictive? What does this say about Cuba's economy type?

Remember, Cuba had a revolution resulting in it becoming a dictatorship with a command economy. The U.S placed an embargo on trade with Cuba after the revolution.
