Sommario/riassunto

A fascinating comparative study of how the agricultural experience of the Soviet Bloc has shaped and sometimes hindered development in the rest of the communist world, this book examines the agrarian policies of China, Mongolia, Vietnam, and Cuba, and provides an account of agricultural development in socialist economies which focuses on both the historical and contemporary aspects of this development.
