The political economy of Chinese environmental protection: lessons of the Mao and Deng years

Article Abstract:

This article examines the failures of Mao Zedong's command-based political economy and Deng Xiaoping's market-based political economy to protect the environment from pollution and degradation. The author compares and contrasts the two leaders' environmental policies, suggesting the need for more environmental protection by the current regime if market-based reforms are to be fully relaized, because the natural environment is in such a state of decay that future material advancement may be in peril.
