What was essential to the factory system by increasing efficiency and lessening the cost of production?

a. always outside of government control.

so, based on the research i've done. the u.s. government were always on a wild goose chase just to take down castro. he then retired his trone to his brother raul in 2008 due to some health issues. so it's obvious your answer would be:

castro had no allies from which he could receive aid.

hope this and have a fantastic day!
