Abstract
Mao Tse-tung's apparent indifference to economic questions in his writings has been exaggerated in Western minds. Actually, he is preoccupied with the problems of economic growth. He has emphasized the importance of entrepreneurship and attaches great importance to material incentives. For Mao, however, the entrepreneur is not the individual per se, but the collective. Jack Gray is Senior Lecturer in Chinese Studies at the University of Glasgow and a former lecturer at Hong Kong University; he visited the Chinese mainland in 1955. He is co-author of Chinese Communism in Crisis, 1968 and author of the forthcoming book, Revolution and Consolidation in the Chinese Countryside, 1947–56.Keywords
