Over sixty years have elapsed since the Communists gained control of the Chinese mainland. The years between 1949 and 1969 were a time of constant change and periodic cataclysm, all bound up with the Communist conception of how to move the country into modernity in the shortest possible time. This summarises and evaluates the economic consequences of the Communist path to development in a concise, factual presentation that can be readily comprehended by non-economists.
