Chapter Chapter 2 in Studies on the Chinese Economy During the Mao Era, 2022, pp 27-43 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Often described as an “anti-economics” person, Mao Zedong caused the national economy to fall into chaos, such as the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution. He thought that the economy was nothing but a means for his politics. Deng Xiaoping, on the other hand, succeeded in reconstructing the Chinese economy confused by Mao’s politics by displaying his economic thinking. We first analyze Mao’s “political economics”, contrast it with Deng’s economics, and finally evaluate Mao’s political economy from today’s perspective.
