how did Fidel Castro related to the business or future?

Cuba was very much a  playground for wealthy foreigners and run by the mafia. Castro kicked them out and gave Cuba an excellent health and education programme. For many Cubans he has been a huge success. He has been very badly treated by America who have tried to destroy the country by trade embargoes. This has failed -and should have stopped long ago.

I think Fidel's brother Raul is still hanging around. The Cuban Politburo might just go for him.

It's a long standing vendetta against Castro? Time to put it to bed. And make it a great vacation spot.\nCastro will be dead in the near future.

I'm no expert, but most of the Cuban people seem to like American culture enough to push consensus to accept Democracy. There may be figures in the military that want to take the reigns like Castro did, so that may be a potential source of conflict. But if the US really wants to impose it's will, they can really pressure a new guy in different, more direct ways. Especially since Russia doesn't have their back anymore.

Raul Castro Ruz would take over from Fidel Castro, I would imagine, as he is the 2nd Secretary (whereas Castro is currently the first. Look at the Communist Party of Cuba's official website below for the full hierarchy (Unfortunately, it's only in Spanish)

I think that time will come soon. So many Americans have real interests in Cuba. Fidel Castro is the problem.

Yes, I want to try a Cuban Cigar.  The trade embargo with Cuba really show how pointless trade embargoes are

Prime Minister of Cuba was a position in the government of Cuba. Fidel Castro assumed the position of Prime Minister in 1959 replacing José Miró Cardona.\n\nThe office was abolished on December 2, 1976 following a restructuring of the government and the implementation of a new Cuban constitution. Castro became President of the Council of state (President of Cuba) and president of the Council of ministers, positions he has filled ever since.

Very risky deal, many americans invested that much and more in Cuba years ago and lost everything, same as investors in Venezuela, Nicaragua, Bolivia and counting, who knows Latin America is very unstable..☺

The only trade I know about is land trade...he was president of Mexico, then dictator.  Led the battle against Texas for Texas independence.  Remember the alamo?  he briefly went to school, but I don't know where.

Castro is probably the most (in)famous communist alive today, particularly in the US.  He's recognizable by a big bushy beard and a green shirt/army fatigues (and holding a Cuban flag doesn't hurt).  Here's a picture:

Communism is a form of economy where, in theory, all property and businesses belong to the people as a whole.  It is commonly misaligned with "dictatorships" as seen in a previous answer.  \n\nIf communism could achieve what it was truly meant to be, it would mean that every citizen would have a say in how property and businesses were used and operated.  \n\nHowever, communism oftens makes it easier for a dictator to take advantage of the people and assume power.  It is important to note though that a dictator truly has nothing to do with the economic system of communism.\n\nSocialism is somewhere between capitalism and communism.  It allows for the private ownership of business.  However, the government and the people control services vital to the people such as medical services.

The Installation of Celulose processing plants and a difference of oppinion with argentina, which has got us a virtual economic blockage from them to us.\n\nThe economic development, current but permanent.\n\nThe closage of a cooperative of credit and savings, known as cofac and the funding of a new enterprise coming from international investors and the ashes of cofac.

If I am not mistaken, Theodore Roosevelt had investment interests in Cuba and his cousin, Franklin D. Roosevelt owned shared of international corporations, and had family members (Winston Churchill for one) in Western Europe.

Yes.  My two cents...  Expect relations to thaw the day Castro passes away (soon).  Everything is set in place for a thaw in relations, however waiting for a new leader would carry far less political risk than forgiving Castro himself.
