Non-capitalist states appear to suffer economic collapse much sooner than do capitalist states. Historians theorize that it is interventionism and destabilizing influences exercised by capitalist states that lead to non-capitalist states suffering economic collapse faster than capitalist states do. This theory is hard to verify directly, as it is difficult to pinpoint with any significant accuracy what punitive practices have been undertaken by capitalist states against non-capitalist ones. A detailed study of Cuba, a non-capitalist state, however, demonstrates that much of the economic difficulty experienced by the nation arises from sanctions and trade embargoes placed by the USA, a capitalist state. This indicates that the historians’ theory has a firm basis in reality.
