This paper is neither a biography nor an intellectual portrait of Ma Yin-qu (Ma Yin-ch'u), the renowned economist and a fellow-traveller of the Chinese Communists. Rather, my goal in this paper is to use the case of Ma Yin-qu to throw light on the struggle between two lines in the economic development of China. The renewed attack on “capitalist-roaders,” whose most recent leader allegedly has been Deng Xiao-ping, reveals a potential contradiction inherent in socialist construction in third world countries. Deng has been depicted as a revolutionary in the “new democratic” stage but a turncoat in the “socialist” period of continuous revolution. This depiction might or might not be justified, but its underlying theme implies that “nationalism” might in certain forms become incompatible with “socialism.”
