Economic Realities and China's Political Economics.

The author reflects on the impact of Cultural Revolution on the economy of China. He assessed that the Revolution could be considered as a temporary interruption to the development programs of the country. High labor-to-land ratio led to the adoption of labor-intensive production methods causing high yields per unit of land but low yields per man. He argued that it disrupted the transportation of inputs and controlled the agricultural sector though no intervention has been done within the sector.
