# As minister of industry Guevara presides over a dated planning period of shortages, failed targets, and later self-criticism

Date: 1963

## The fact

In the early 1960s, as minister of industry, [Guevara](/people/che-guevara) presided over planning whose public file includes shortages and missed industrial targets, including later self-criticism. The instrument is that failed planning period, not the appointment itself. Che Guevara's documented role is: He held the ministry. Soviet advisers, Cuban managers, sugar weather, and the embargo share the shortage. His moral-incentive planning is the personal coefficient.

## Context

The appointment row is the office. Sharing blame with the embargo, sugar prices, and Soviet supply is required. The setting of As minister of industry Guevara presides over a dated planning period of shortages, failed targets, and later self-criticism is the public file around 1963-01-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [industrial-policy-activism](/drivers/industrial-policy-activism) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.
