Communism

That’s great information and I think it would be worthwhile to find out what drives the difference in compensation as opposed to assuming it comes from incentive.

Cubas an interesting example because it’s development of biomedical industry comes from the transition away from an only nominally free agricultural economy.

Without all the people producing cash crops for export (they still were, but with less human labor as the industry mechanized) and the urban service sector out of casino work there was a glut of people and need to put them to work.

Medicine was not just an industry compatible with their international communist politics but also their resources at hand.

So I think even with the difference in compensation there’s an argument to be made that labor training and output can be driven by much, much more than incentives in compensation.
