Abstract
Recent issues if MR presented material relevant to the past and present situation in Chinese agriculture (William H. Hinton, "Dazhai Revisited," March 1988; Herb and Ruth Gamberg, "More on Dazhai," September 1988). Hugh Deane, a journalist with long experience in China, responded to these analyses last September, broadening the discussion to include a survey if developments that led up to the present situation.

In our opinion, the Deane-Hinton exchange presented below constitutes an important contribution to the understanding if current Chinese history. —The EditorsThis article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the Monthly Review website.
