Alberto Arredondo Gutiérrez was born in Havana, Cuba
on 28 August 1912. Recognized for his work as a journalist
and economist, Arredondo owned a daily newspaper in
Havana and was active in the study of Cuba's economy,
focusing especially on agriculture and serving as
head of the Departamento de Economía Interna of the
Consejo Nacional de Economía in 1958. Arredondo was
the Cuban delegate to the VII Inter-American Conference
on Agriculture and the VI Conference of the Pan American
Institute of Geography and History. He also served
as an economic advisor the the Comisión de Fomento
Nacional of Cuba and as the director of economic research
for the Confederación de Trabajadores del Cuba (CTC).
Arredondo went into exile in 1960 and was a professor
of agricultural economics at the Centro Interamericano
de Estudios Económicos y Sociales (CIDES) in Santo
Domingo, Dominican Republic from 1963 to 1964. He
later moved to Miami, where he continued to be active
in several professional and political organizations.
He also worked as a researcher for the Cuban Economics
Research Project at the University of Miami.
Arredondo authored several conference papers, economic
studies, and books. Some of his works include El
Negro en Cuba (1939), Cuba, Tierra Indefensa
(1945), and La historia secreta del comunismo cubano
y sus purgas (1965).
Alberto Arredondo died in Miami on 17 April 1968.
