Most students of modern Cuba have observed at least three major phases in the revolutionary process during its first fifteen years... The political revolution—the successful convergence of the anti-Batista forces and the assumption of power by Castro and his colleagues—was followed by a few years in which the political support of the lower classes was consolidated through demand satisfaction. The old ruling elite and their foreign investor allies were displaced, and the material base that had sustained them was distributed in the form of services and consumer goods among the formerly deprived groups, particularly the peasants…. By the mid-1960s, however, the strategy of government by inventiveness and euphoria had run its course…. The upper and middle sectors, who had been billed for the impressive initial advances in health care, housing, education, and other services, had emigrated en masse to the United States. The hardships imposed by the international economic boycott and the costs of further development could only be borne by supporters and previous beneficiaries of the Revolution…. Full employment had been a fundamental goal and major achievement of the Revolution. Employment was more than a right, however; it was also an obligation. It was intended to underwrite not only adequate standards of living for every family in the short run but also productivity levels required for sustained growth. —Area Handbook for Cuba, Jan Knippers Black, 1976 It can be concluded that the behavior of “the upper and middle sectors” alluded to in the passage was most affected by which of the following?
