Rural Roots of Reforms near Shanghai, c. 1971-1989 (Compared to Medial Entrepreneurship in Taiwan, Thailand, and Luzon)

“Green revolution” exploded near Shanghai during the late 1960s. By the early 1970s – long before 1978 - field mechanization justified local leaders to run rural factories; evidence of substantive “reforms” then is extensive for some rich parts of China. By the mid-1980s, these factories took most rural inputs; so socialist planning practically ended. Lynn will compare these changes near Shanghai with others in Taiwan and Thailand, and with usual non-growth in Luzon, showing that these cases were all politically and locally led (more than growth in Northeast Asia has been).
