Economic Distribution and Rural Development in China: the Legacy of the Maoist Era

Peter Nolan and Gordon White

Chapter 10 in Work, Income and Inequality, 1983, pp 243-278 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter analyses the nature and extent of economic inequality in the Chinese countryside in the 1970s prior to the death of Mao Tse-Tung and the arrest of the Shanghai radical group in late 1976. Since then, important policy changes have taken place affecting all areas of socioeconomic life, including many aspects of rural economic distribution. Since the precise impact of the new policies and institutions is still hard to assess, this chapter does not provide a detailed evaluation of these changes but should provide a useful background for such an evaluation.1
