    Chinese Privatization: Between Plan and Market

    CHINESE PRIVATIZATION: BETWEEN PLAN AND MARKET LAN CAO* I INTRODUCTION Since 1978, when China adopted its open-door policy and allowed its economy to be exposed to the international market, it has adhered to what Deng Xiaoping called "socialism with Chinese characteristics."1 As a result, it has produced an economy with one of the most rapid growth rates in the world by steadfastly embarking on a developmental strategy of gradual, market-oriented measures while simultaneously remaining nominally socialistic. As I discuss in this article, this strategy of reformthe mere adoption of a market economy while retaining a socialist ownership baseshould similarly be characterized as "privatization with Chinese characteristics,"2 even though it departs markedly from the more orthodox strategy most commonly associated with the term "privatization," at least as that term has been conventionally understood in the context of emerging market or transitional economies. The Russian experience of privatization, for example, represents the more dominant and more favored approach to privatizationcertainly from the point of view of the West and its advisersand is characterized by immediate privatization of the state sector, including the swift and unequivocal transfer of assets from the publicly owned state enterprises to private hands. On the other hand, "privatization with Chinese characteristics" emphasizes not the immediate privatization of the state sector but rather the retention of the state sector with the Copyright © 2001 by Lan Cao This article is also available at http://www.law.duke.edu/journals/63LCPCao. * Professor of Law, College of William and Mary Marshall-Wythe School of Law.

    "Functional Socialism'' and "Functional Capitalism" : the "Socialist Market Economy" in China

    "Functional Socialism'' and "Functional Capitalism" : The "Socialist Market Economy" in China 著者 Takeshita Koshi journal or Kansai University review of economics publication title volume 18 page range 1-25 year 2016-03 URL http://hdl.handle.net/10112/00017203 Kansai University Review of Economics No.18 (March 2016), pp.1-25 ^Tunctional Socialism'' and ^Tunctional Capitalism — The "Socialist Market Economy" in China — Koshi Takeshita Based on a framework that conceives of ownership (property rights) as "a bundle of rights," We propose four types of ownership system, build concept models of "functional socialism" and "func tional capitalism," and then try to clarify the reality of Chinas "socialist market economy" We reached the following conclusions. First, we schematize the correspondence between "functional socialism" and "functional capi talism." Second, we show that a process of land ownership reform and state-owned enterprises reform corresponded with a schema of "functional capitalism." Third, we found that the ownership structure of the "socialist market economy" in China is now sepa rated into three different sets of rights regarding ownership (prop erty rights). Finally, we show that the reality of the "socialist market economy" is not a free market, but a market controlled by the Communist Party. Keywords: market socialism, state capitalism, property rights approach, land owner ship reform, reform of SOEs (state-owned enterprises) 1. Introduction: analytical viewpoint^^ Following the remarkable rise of Chinas economy, there has been an increase in discussion about the diverse forms that capitalism can take.^^However, when one considers that China calls its own system a "socialist market economy," one may wonder if it is better to think about the multiple forms that socialism can take.

    1How Do We Compare Economies?

    1 How Do We Compare Economies? As mankind approaches the end of the millennium, the twin crises of authoritarianism and socialist central planning have left only one competitor standing in the ring as an ideology of potentially uni- versal validity: liberal democracy, the doctrine of individual freedom and popular sovereignty. In its economic manifestation, liberalism is the recognition of the right of free economic activity and economic exchange based on private property and markets. —Francis Fukuyama, The End of History and the Last Man, 1992 INTRODUCTION We have witnessed a profound transformation of the world political and economic order since 1989, the ultimate outcome of which is difficult to foresee. The former Soviet Union (FSU)1 broke up, its empire of satellite states dissolved, and most of the former constituent parts are trying to fulfill Fukyama’s prophecy quoted above. In his view, the end of the Cold War means the convergence of the entire world on the American model of political econ- omy and the end of any significant competition between alternative forms of political or economic systems. Has this prophecy come true? We think not. Certainly during the second half of the 1990s, the economic boom in the United States pushed it forward as a role model that many coun- tries sought and still seek to emulate. But with the outbreak of financial crises in many parts of the globe and the bursting of the American stock market bubble in March 2000, its eco- nomic problems such as continuing poverty and inequality loom large. Furthermore, it is now clear that the problems in the FSU are deeply rooted, with the transitions in various former Soviet republics stalled.
  • Socialist Planning

    Socialist Planning

    Socialist Planning Socialist planning played an enormous role in the economic and political history of the twentieth century. Beginning in the USSR it spread round the world. It influenced economic institutions and economic policy in countries as varied as Bulgaria, USA, China, Japan, India, Poland and France. How did it work? What were its weaknesses and strengths? What is its legacy for the twenty-first century? Now in its third edition, this textbook is fully updated to cover the findings of the period since the collapse of the USSR. It provides an overview of socialist planning, explains the underlying theory and its limitations, looks at its implementation in various sectors of the economy, and places developments in their historical context. A new chap- ter analyses how planning worked in the defence–industry complex. This book is an ideal text for undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in comparative economic systems and twentieth-century economic history. michael ellman is Emeritus Professor in the Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands. He is the author, co- author and editor of numerous books and articles on the Soviet and Russian economies, on transition economics, and on Soviet economic and political history.

  • Market Socialism As a Distinct Socioeconomic Formation Internal to the Modern Mode of Production

    Market Socialism As a Distinct Socioeconomic Formation Internal to the Modern Mode of Production

    New Proposals: Journal of Marxism and Interdisciplinary Inquiry Vol. 5, No. 2 (May 2012) Pp. 20-50 Market Socialism as a Distinct Socioeconomic Formation Internal to the Modern Mode of Production Alberto Gabriele UNCTAD Francesco Schettino University of Rome ABSTRACT: This paper argues that, during the present historical period, only one mode of production is sustainable, which we call the modern mode of production. Nevertheless, there can be (both in theory and in practice) enough differences among the specific forms of modern mode of production prevailing in different countries to justify the identification of distinct socioeconomic formations, one of them being market socialism. In its present stage of evolution, market socialism in China and Vietnam allows for a rapid development of productive forces, but it is seriously flawed from other points of view. We argue that the development of a radically reformed and improved form of market social- ism is far from being an inevitable historical necessity, but constitutes a theoretically plausible and auspicable possibility. KEYWORDS: Marx, Marxism, Mode of Production, Socioeconomic Formation, Socialism, Communism, China, Vietnam Introduction o our view, the correct interpretation of the the most advanced mode of production, capitalism, presently existing market socialism system (MS) was still prevailing only in a few countries. Yet, Marx Tin China and Vietnam requires a new and partly confidently predicted that, thanks to its intrinsic modified utilization of one of Marx’s fundamental superiority and to its inbuilt tendency towards inces- categories, that of mode of production.

    Socialist Political Economy with Chinese Characteristics in a New

    The current issue and full text archive of this journal is available on Emerald Insight at: https://www.emerald.com/insight/2516-1652.htm Socialist Socialist political economy with political Chinese characteristics in a economy new era Yinxing Hong 259 Nanjing University, Nanjing, China Received 18 October 2020 Revised 18 October 2020 Abstract Accepted 18 October 2020 Purpose – The socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics reflects the characteristics of ushering into a new era, and the research object thereof shifts to productive forces. Emancipating and developing productive forces and achieving common prosperity become the main theme. Wealth supersedes value as the fundamental category of economic analysis. Design/methodology/approach – The theoretical system of socialist political economy with Chinese characteristics cannot proceed from transcendental theories but is problem-oriented. Leading problems involve development stages and research-level problems. Findings – The economic operation analysis is subject to the goal of optimal allocation of resources with micro-level analysis focused on efficiency and macro-level analysis focused on economic growth and macroeconomic stability also known as economic security. The economic development analysis explores the laws of development and related development concepts in compliance with laws of productive forces. The new development concepts i.e. the innovative coordinated green open and shared development drive the innovation of development theory in political economy. Originality/value – Accordingly, the political economy cannot study the system only, but also needs to study the problems of economic operation and economic development. Therefore, the theoretical system of the political economy tends to encompass three major parts, namely economic system, economic operation and economic development (including foreign economy).
