Biography
The son of Rafael Arredondo and Leonor Gutiérrez Betancourt, Alberto Arredondo Gutiérrez was a journalist and economist born in Havana, Cuba. Arredondo owned the daily newspaper Mañana in Havana and was active in the study of Cuba's economy, focusing especially on agriculture. For several years he was in charge of the economic section of the Cuban newspaper Avance. He was a regular contributor for the Cuban international magazine Bohemia. Arredondo served as head of the Departamento de Economía Interna of the Consejo Nacional de Economía in 1958 and, later, as 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 to the Comisión de Fomento Nacional of Cuba and as the director of economic research for the Confederación de Trabajadores del Cuba (CTC).
In Havana, during the 1940s and 1950s, Arredondo was the President of the INRE Review (Review of the National Institute of Economic Reform); Economic Advisor for the Agricultural and Industrial Development Bank of Cuba (BANFAIC), and consultant for BANFAIC's president, Amadeo López Castro.
