The Chinese Communist system was from its very inception based on
an inherent contradiction and tension, and the Cultural Revolution
is the latest and most violent manifestation of that contradiction.
Built into the very structure of the system was an inner conflict
between the desiderata, the imperatives, and the requirements that
technocratic modernization on the one hand and Maoist values and
strategy on the other. The Cultural Revolution collects four papers
prepared for a research conference on the topic convened by the
University of Michigan Center for Chinese Studies in March 1968.
Michel Oksenberg opens the volume by examining the impact of the
Cultural Revolution on occupational groups including peasants,
industrial managers and workers, intellectuals, students, party and
government officials, and the military. Carl Riskin is concerned
with the economic effects of the revolution, taking up production
trends in agriculture and industry, movements in foreign trade, and
implications of Masoist economic policies for China's economic
growth. Robert A. Scalapino turns to China's foreign policy
behavior during this period, arguing that Chinese Communists in
general, and Mao in particular, formed foreign policy with a
curious combination of cosmic, utopian internationalism and
practical ethnocentrism rooted both in Chinese tradition and
Communist experience. Ezra F. Vogel closes the volume by exploring
the structure of the conflict, the struggles between factions, and
the character of those factions.
China's explosive economic growth since 1988 has not resulted in an equal increase of income among all Chinese citizens. The authors explore a range of reasons for the disparity and base their conclusions on strong empirical evidence--especially the 1996 survey conducted by the State Statistical Bureau.
