dc.description	This book also provides raw data about rural reforms. One example is: the realization of the fixed output quotas for each household (called the household responsibility contract system today), and advancing it from the demand of the masses to a legal policy under the Party and government cost a particularly high price and also took a long time. Why? For the younger generation, this subject is particularly difficult to comprehend. In a backward agricultural country, for the working class, to gain political power and determine how to develop towards socialism requires a relatively long period of transition. This stage is to prepare the conditions for socialism, but between the development of productivity and the eradication of class and ownership reform, which should be the priority task? Should there be a new stage of democratic construction allowing for the simultaneous development of a variety of economies? Should we encourage farmers’ enthusiasm to develop individual economy? What is the most suitable speed for advancing rural cooperatives? There were divergences in all these aspects. How to treat fixed output quotas per household was yet another issue that invited endless debate. The result was an understanding that at least from the 1950s and into the late 1970s, fixed output quotas per household were prohibited. This was once the consensus within the Party, which consequently became a high-level decision that could not be undone
