Abstract: Abstract In this section, I argue that China’s traditional “free” land trade, together with the spread of modern commodity–money relations, has produced a superficially modern form of private landownership while preserving older mechanisms of land concentration. Landownership has become highly concentrated, yet this has not been accompanied by large-scale farming; instead, large-scale ownership coexists with small-scale operation and small-scale ownership in a complementary way. I therefore examine how these two forms of ownership and land operation regulate the development of modern land rent, beginning with small-scale landownership and its effects on rent, wages, and the conditions for capitalist agriculture.
