Over sixty years have elapsed since the Communists gained control
of the Chinese mainland. The years between 1949 and 1969 were a
time of constant change and periodic cataclysm - the initial
purges, the Great Leap Forward, and the Cultural Revolution - all
bound up with the Communist conception of how to move the country
into modernity in the shortest possible time. The Chinese Economy
under Maoism summarizes and evaluates the economic consequences of
the Communist path to development in a concise, factual
presentation that can be readily comprehended by non-economists.The
authors review the major features of the Chinese economy prior to
the Communist takeover and discuss the policies, performance, and
problems of the individual sectors of the Chinese economy during
its initial years under Communism. Included in their review are
industry, agriculture, foreign trade, resource allocation,
population, employment, and living standards. A concluding chapter
summarizes Chinese economic growth and presents a discussion of
future policy alternatives and an optimum economic policy for
China.Based on important findings of Western scholars, with many
original interpretations by the authors, this material is presented
from a developmental point of view. Since it was originally
published in 1972, sections of the book devoted to comparative
studies of progress in India and the former Soviet regime will be
of particular interest now. Free of technical language and
providing insights into the economy of one of the most important
countries in the world, this book will be useful not only to
economists but to a broad range of sinologists, political
scientists, sociologists, and historians interested in the path of
revolution.
