The Fate of the Commune: Decollectivization in China
Did the reforms in the 80s save Chinese agriculture? What were the origins of the reforms and how did they affect what was already in place? In this video, we will talk specifically about the dissolution of the Chinese agricultural commune. We will challenge the dominant narrative that collective agriculture was untenable and that its abolition was spurred on by popular opposition.
Obviously, the history of Chinese agriculture cannot be captured in a single video. Our purpose here is not to offer a sweeping, affirmative judgement of one system over another. What this video will hopefully shed light on is the notion that collective agriculture was replaced by something significantly more “efficient“ or robust.
