The United States versus China
Myth of the Social Volcano
Resurgent China
Out of the Darkness
China's rapid economic growth since 1978 has occurred precisely because it has not followed the strategy of parallel partial progression and financial liberalization advocated by Fan and Woo. However, China missed an historic opportunity to build welfare capitalism in the 1980s and 1990s, choosing instead to dismantle its rural health care and educational systems and—as Philip Huang rightly argues—failing to secure workers' right in the burgeonin…
Chinese Economic Development
This book outlines and analyzes the economic development of China between 1949 and 2007. Rather than being narrowly economic, the book addresses many of the broader aspects of development, including literacy, morality, demographics and the environment. The distinctive features of this book are its sweep and that it does not shy away from controversial issues. For example, there is no question that aspects of Maoism were disastrous but Bramall arg…

The Last of the Romantics? Maoist Economic Development in Retrospect
The notion that the development strategy pursued in China after 1949 had transformed the economy of the People's Republic was a staple of Western scholarship at the close of the Maoist era. Jack Gray's work of the early 1970s stood squarely within this tradition. For him, Maoism was superior to Stalinism as a transitional path to socialism because it avoided the "urban bias" inherent in the primitive socialist accumulation suggested by Preobrazhe…
Chinese Land Reform in Long-Run Perspective and in the Wider East Asian Context
The claims made by Griffin et al. for the impact of land reform in China are unconvincing. The land reform of 1947-52 did not lead to a pronounced increase in agricultural output. Nor was it egalitarian; indeed, but for the deliberate preservation of the rich peasant economy, growth might have been non-existent. The second land reform of 1981-3 was equally ineffectual. Agricultural growth had shifted on to a faster growth path before decol-lectiv…
Sources of Chinese Economic Growth, 1978-1996
This analysis of the political economy of growth in the era of Deng Xiaoping takes issue with the growth-accounting methodologies and market-centred explanations which characterize so much of the literature on transition-era China. By adopting an approach which echoes the pioneering work of Chalmers Johnson, Alice Amsden, and Robert Wade on other East Asian Economies, and which makes full use of the rich statistical materials that have become ava…
Inequality, land reform and agricultural growth in China, 1952-55
Although the Agrarian Reform Laws of the late 1940s were intended to preserve the rich peasant economy, Chinese land reform during 1947-52 was uneven in its spatial impact. In some areas, the reform was indeed a 'wager on the strong'. But in others, land reform was more egalitarian, re-distributing self-cultivated land from rich peasants to the rural poor. New county-level evidence suggests that this egalitarianism hampered the pace of agricultur…

Rural income inequality in China since 1978
Official data suggest only a modest increase in rural income inequality in China since 1978. However, these figures significantly understate the true extent of inequality. Using more reliable data, this article shows that an inexorable increase in inequality has been taking place in China over the last decade, a trend apparent both within and between villages. The final two sections of this article outline the underlying causal processes at work …
The role of decollectivisation in China's agricultural Miracle, 1978-90
Chinese agricultural performance after 1978 was impressive; most writers have attributed its success to the abolition of collective farms. This article rejects the hypothesis because it neglects the positive role played by relative price changes and increased supplies of farm inputs in the 1980s. The hypothesis also wrongly suggests that voluntary co-operation has provided an effective substitute for the Maoist collective in crucial off-farm acti…
