Income and Inequality in China
The first comprehensive effort to estimate household income and its distribution in China according to standard international definitions was made for the year 1988 by an international group of economists working with members of the host institution, the Economics Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS). The sample survey designed by this team produced estimates of household income that were substantially different from those o…
The Third Revolution in the Chinese Countryside
The first revolution in the Chinese countryside was the land reform after the proclamation of the People's Republic of China in 1949. The second was decollectivization of agriculture and shift to the household responsibility system as a basis for agricultural production. This set the scene for the freeing of markets for farm products and linking of domestic markets to international markets; this 1996 book explores this third revolution. The first…

Market, maoism and economic reform in China
China has been in the throes of an economic riptide. A reform-minded leadership, attempting to reverse the direction of two decades is promoting an economic system quite different from any espoused by the late Mao Zedong—one with independent enterprises practicing "scientific management" and responding to the signals of the market. Such a system, according to the reformers, has the best chance of overcoming the still prevalent attitudes of "feuda…

East Asia and the world economy
The contrast between Japan's emergence from the late nineteenth century as an industrializing nation and China's continued relative stagnation during the same period constitutes a puzzle that has provoked many attempts at solution. To heighten the sense of paradox, a number of observers have echoed the view of the late Alexander Eckstein thatan informed observer appraising the prospects of economic development and modernization in Asia from the v…

Maoism and motivation
Visitors to China invariably comment on the energy and zeal of the people they met there. Seymour Topping's impression that “the basic needs of the people are being met and the foundation is being laid for a modern industrial country” he ascribes partly to “the energy exhibited everywhere.” Business economist Barry Richman found that Chinese industrial executives had a “high need for achievement” and displayed “considerable zeal, dedication, patr…

The Cultural Revolution
This paper analyzes the interests and power of seven occupational groups in China: the peasants, industrial workers, industrial managers, intellectuals, students, Party and government bureaucrats, and military personnel.The evidence comes from two sources: 1) the activities of the members of these groups during the Cultural Revolution; and 2) revelations in the wall posters and Red Guard newspapers about their behavior from 1962 to 1966.The paper…
