Question 25 • *KCPS American Government (2027)

Which fact shows that Cuba cannot be considered a pure command economy?

Answer
A
Cuba recently recognized the existence of private property.
B
Financial assistance is provided for housing, utilities, and food.
C
Tax policies are designed to prevent the growth of wealth.
D
Cubans have access to disability and retirement benefits.

Explanation

A pure command economy is characterized by government ownership or control of nearly all productive property. Cuba’s recognition of private property shows that some property can be privately owned, so its economy is not purely command-based. The public benefits and wealth-limiting tax policies in the other choices can exist in a command economy.
