内容説明
Kenneth Walker dominated modern Chinese economic studies at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, from the 1960s until his death in 1989. At SOAS, he was instrumental in establishing the Contemporary China Institute (1967) and retained close links with The China Quarterly. He was appointed to a Chair in the Economics of China in 1972. Walker was the world's most authoritative commentator on China's agricultural development in the first four decades of the People's Republic and, whilst his collected papers provide a unique account of this era, they are not merely of historical interest, offering insights also, into the agricultural sector in contemporary China, which arguably poses the most serious economic and social problems for the Bejing government. Included in this volume is the posthumously-published work on which Walker was engaged until shortly before his death.
His detailed study of "Food and Mortality During the Great Leap Forward" uses rare Chinese language materials to analyze the impact of the "Leap" on grain production and food supplies in every Chinese province between 1958 and 1962, highlighting the enormity of the demographic catastrophe resulting from this first Maoist adventure.
