Private Agriculture in Socialist Countries: Implications for the USSR.

摘要

Whether Soviet agriculture can expect some greater contribution from its private producers than it has hitherto received, is the question underlying the subsequent investigation. In doing so, the possibility of a fundamental change of agrarian system of the USSR in the foreseeable future -- a la chinoise or in other ways -- will be excluded apriori. Many people seem to assume that the private plot is more or less the same everywhere in socialized agriculture. Therefore the present paper pay special attention to its modifications, which are considerable. All member countries of the Council of Mutual Economic Assistance (CMEA), including Cuba and Vietnam, and China and Yugoslavia in addition, will be taken into account.
