Peasant China in Transition: The Dynamics of Development Toward Socialism, 1949-1956

problems—one that involved a tax program on "unearned increments," rent reduction for tenant farmers, and a redistributive "land-to-the-tillers" component., In effect, a close reading of Schiffrin's book suggests that the rationale for Sun's postures might well be found not in Sun's public statements, but in the densely written pages of the specifically ideological literature of the T'ung meng hui (i.e., Min pao) and the Kuomintang (e.g., Chien-she). If resolutions for the putative contradictions in Sun's political postures are to be found, they will be found there. If one does turn to the pages of Min pao and Chien-she, one finds a discussion of "imperialism" that is remarkably modern, recognizing the developmental role of capital transfers in the "primitive capital accumulation" necessary to spark economic takeoff in industrially retarded circumstances. In these same pages, there are discussions of agrarian development that are equally modern and impressive. There is talk of the development of a vast communications and transport infrastructure for China's vastness, necessary to the acceleration of agrarian production and the improvement of the well-being of peasant life. There is advocacy of intersectoral capital transfers and of a decentralized development of industry to foster balanced rural and urban growth. And there is talk of sheltered industrial expansion with emphasis on labor-intensive production. All of which suggests that the programs entertained by the followers of Sun bore little evidence of contradiction and the "skirting" of "explosive issues."
