Over the last sixty years, China has gone from Soviet¡¦s centrally planned economy in the Mao Era to Deng Xiao Ping¡¦s economic reform. It has evolved from extreme poverty to rapid economic growth, from equality to inequality and from life improvement to social instability. There might be cause and effect which underlie the process. This study adopts historical research approach and systematic research method to explore the cause and effect which underlie the overall development of the major economic policy-making in the four eras: Planned economy by Mao Ze Dong, reform and openness by Deng Xiao Ping, macroeconomic control by Jiang Ze Min and rural reconstruction by Hu Jin Tao.
The results of this study include the following findings: Firstly, from Mao Ze Dong to Hu Jin Tao era there might be cause and effect which exist among the making of China¡¦s major economic policies. Due to the internal revolt and foreign invasion Mao Ze Dong adopted planned economy which resulted in China¡¦s extreme economic poverty. Deng Xiao Ping¡¦s reform and openness for economic development caused severe inflation. Jiang Ze Min¡¦s macroeconomic control was intended to contain the inflation. Subsequently, Jiang¡¦s policy brought about the withering away of the countryside which in turn led to Hu Jin Tao¡¦s rural reconstruction.
Secondly, the logic of Chinese leaders¡¦ thinking and personalities have had significant influence on their economic policy-making, however, the effect of ideology has diminished over time. Without the leaderships of strongmen like Mao and Deng, China is forced to systemize its major economic decisions. Hu is now dealing with the problems of reform and openness which have arisen over the last thirty years. Whether he can succeed in dealing with the issues concerning agriculture, countryside, farmers and inflation still remains to be seen. The fifth generation leaderships in the future will be in a position where ¡§the revolution has not yet succeeded and comrades must continue to strife.¡¨
Thirdly, China¡¦s economic policies are influenced by the political environment that its leaders face both back home and abroad. This thesis investigates and grasps the overall system from a causationism perspective which analyzes the political and economic relations behind China¡¦s major economic policy-making. This study has significant reference value for the academia to explore the process of China¡¦s local economic policy-making.
