Market Control and Planning in Communist China

About the author

Dwight H. Perkins is Harold Hitchings Burbank Professor of Political Economy, Emeritus, at Harvard University.

Summary

In the first in-depth study of this subject by an economist, Perkins focuses on a major problem—common to all planned economies—that has confronted the Chinese Communists: whether to centralize all controls in the hands of planners, or allow factory and farm managers some degree of autonomy regulated only by the indirect pressures of the market.
