SBA launches Spanish language site |
The U.S. Small Business Administration has launched a Spanish language version of SBA.gov.
The Spanish site includes much of the content of SBA.gov, as well as several popular web-based tools, including the Business Plan tool and Size Standards tool, Administrator Maria Contreras-Sweet recently announced in a news release.
"Our Spanish language website shows how SBA is making our tools smarter, bolder and more accessible," Contreras-Sweet said. "In communities all across the country, Spanish-speaking American entrepreneurs are working hard, creating good jobs and building their communities. There are now 3.2 million Latino-owned businesses in the U.S., and they're pumping nearly 500 billion dollars into our economy every year."

The Economist sheds light on Reforming Cuba and on how to Be More Libre |
"Cuba's creaky revolutionaries spent half a century blaming the American embargo for all the island's woes. Now they resist American capitalism for fear of being overrun. The result for most ordinary Cubans is not too much change, but too little. The island is poorer than many of its neighbours.
Cuba deserves a proper democracy and a robust market-based economy. {...] if Cubans are to benefit from the opening with America, their rulers need to reform more boldly and quickly than they have done so far."
