Some day, Mao will be recognized as the greatest developmental economist ever. Perhaps recognition will dawn when someone edits his opinions and compares them to his results.
Starting with an illiterate, typhus-infected population living in rubble, and working entirely under massive Western sanctions and embargoes, Mao provided basic universal health care and doubled life expectancy from 35 to 68. No country matches the pace of life expectancy increase under Mao, nor its increase in prosperity.
Germany's fastest development growth was 33% per decade from 1880-1914.
Japan's was 43% from 1874-1929
USSR's was 54% between 1928-58.
Mao's decadal growth rate was 64% between 1952-72. [Mao Zedong: A Political and Intellectual Portrait 1st Edition. Maurice Meisner].
Sincere thanks for nepotistic factory managers.
