Abstract

This paper analyzes income distribution data for a single brigade of a commune in Fukien Province, after the 1962 movement down to the production team as the basic agricultural unit. The primary result is that returns to nonlabor resources owned by the production teams cause significant income differences between team income levels even within the same production brigade. Inequality based in ownership patterns seems incompatible with Chinese Communist ideological principles so its continued existence reflects the extent to which pragmatism has dominated ideology in the People's Republic of China.
