This book interrogates the inevitability and practicability of
full-scale, land-intensive capitalist agriculture in China, whilst
analyzing the labor-intensive industrious revolution as an
alternative rural development path. It presents a critical account
of the recent rise of agrarian capitalism as a force that would
undermine hundreds of millions of people's livelihoods in the
populous country. The Land Question in China traces the roots of
the industrious revolution in China back to the eighteenth century,
drawing comparisons between contemporary rural development and
economic prosperity in the mid-Qing dynasty. In the context of
neoliberal restructuring, it argues that vigorous rural development
with broad access to land offers a solution to mitigate precarious
urban employment and population pressure, while the transfer of
land from villagers to large producers and urban investors will
exacerbate these problems. Comparisons with South Africa and the
East Asian economies of Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan further
illustrate this and help to develop a new interpretation of the
industrious revolution and its contemporary relevance. Providing a
critical examination of the "new land reform" in China from a world
historical perspective, this book will be useful to students and
scholars of sociology, economics, and development, as well as
Chinese Studies.
