Download or read book Agricultural Productivity In The Socialist Countries written by Lung-fai Wong and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the emergence of collectivization, the communal movement, and the food crisis, the development of agriculture in socialist countries has become a topic of great interest to economists. Focusing on productive efficiency, Dr. Wong estimates an agricultural metaproduction function for nine countries--China, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Yugoslavia, and the Soviet Union--and computes both the partial productivities and total productivity in comparable units. Using the growth accounting procedure, the author performs a quantitative comparative analysis of the differences and the sources of differences in agricultural productivity among socialist countries. Methods of analyzing productivity measures are described, revealing the contribution of land, labor, education, and other factors in agricultural growth. Dr. Wong concludes by discussing the policy implications for development strategy and the effects on the world food market.
Download or read book Socialist Agriculture In Transition written by Joseph C Brada and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-11 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of altered investment priorities, policymakers in socialist countries can no longer increase the resources devoted to agriculture as they have in the past. Instead, they must seek alternative means of improving agricultural performance. One approach has been to change the structure of socialist agriculture and to foster organizational changes within agricultural units. The contributors to this volume evaluate such reforms and weigh their implications for agricultural output and trade. They examine the normless links being introduced in the USSR and compare Soviet experiences with the successes of Chinese and Hungarian reorganizations; describe and analyze the changes being implemented in the German Democratic Republic, Yugoslavia, and Vietnam; and pay particular attention to the role of Polish agriculture in the production crisis and to agriculture's potential for improving Poland's overall economic performance. The contributors also address issues of infrastructure development, the incentives being developed to foster more efficient allocation of resources within the agricultural sector, and the likely growth of East-West and intra-socialist agricultural trade.

Book excerpt: Privatizing the Land provides an overview of reforms in the state socialist agrarian systems, especially during the 1970s and 1980s in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union.

The Soviet and Eastern European experience is contrasted with reforms in China, Vietnam and Cuba to provide the first comprehensive account of agricultural restructuring after the collapse of communism in Europe and Asia.

Download or read book Communist Agriculture written by Karl Eugen Wädekin and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 1990 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agriculture has played a key role throughout the communist world and has become a central issue of Marxist-Leninist theory. By the late 1970s, however, it was apparent that the doctrinaire approaches adopted were in need of thorough and pragmatic revision if farming was to flourish in these basically agrarian countries. This process of change is still with us today. This book contains a comparative essay on how the Soviet experience has shaped and sometimes hindered development, and essays on aspects of agriculture in China, Mongolia, Vietnam, and Cuba. The policies of these countries are compared and assessed to provide a full account of agricultural development under socialism.
