Description

This book is a detailed study of rural reform in China.

After the death of Mao, and with the ascendency of Deng Xiaoping in 1978, China began a programme of agricultural reform intended to increase productivity.

Three major changes moved the agricultural sector from a centrally planned system to a more market-oriented system.

First, replacement of collective teams by farming by households.

Second, an increase in free markets for rural products, and increase in state prices for farm products, and the partial elimination of the two-tier price system.

Third were changes in the economic structure that facilitied greater productivity and a 250% increase in average real rural incomes between 1979 and 1986.

This book is unique in that it studies a single township (Dahe in Hebei Province) in depth over the two periods, thus providing a great deal of data about the effects of the reform at the village level.
