What Do Commissars Do?
The note considers the possible interaction between the narrowing of wage differentials in China and the degree of hierarchy-cum-supervision at the plant level in the Chinese economy. It is argued that the Chinese regime may end up with greater hierarchy in its techniques of production, paradoxically, as a result of the narrowing of wage differentials. In developing this thesis, the note raises an issue of novelty in the theory of comparative economic systems.
