The People Eat for Free and the Art of Collective Production in Maoist China (Article)
Title: The People Eat for Free and the Art of Collective Production in Maoist China
Author: Christine I Ho
Abstract: The Jiangsu Chinese Painting Academy's 1958 brush-and-ink painting The People Eat for Free was acclaimed as an exemplary work of collective production (jiti chuangzuo) in the early People's Republic of China. Within a history of theorizing communal creativity, collective production began as a practice of populist nationalism and became the medium of participatory socialism. An examination of the multiple versions and drafts surrounding the painting reveals the contested process of collective production and renders visible intersecting forms of state, official, artistic, and mass participation, while demonstrating the experimental nature of the socialist representational project.

Tea War: A History of Capitalism in China and India (Book) [show prizes]
Title: Tea War: A History of Capitalism in China and India
Author: Andrew Liu
Abstract: A history of capitalism in nineteenth‑ and twentieth‑century China and India that explores the competition between their tea industries.
Tea remains the world’s most popular commercial drink today, and at the turn of the twentieth century, it represented the largest export industry of both China and colonial India. In analyzing the global competition between Chinese and Indian tea, Andrew B. Liu challenges past economic histories premised on the technical “divergence” between the West and the Rest, arguing instead that seemingly traditional technologies and practices were central to modern capital accumulation across Asia. He shows how competitive pressures compelled Chinese merchants to adopt abstract industrial conceptions of time, while colonial planters in India pushed for labor indenture laws to support factory-style tea plantations. Characterizations of China and India as premodern backwaters, he explains, were themselves the historical result of new notions of political economy adopted by Chinese and Indian nationalists, who discovered that these abstract ideas corresponded to concrete social changes in their local surroundings. Together, these stories point toward a more flexible and globally oriented conceptualization of the history of capitalism in China and India.
