Footnotes:
Chapter 8
1 - 0:58
The book at issue in this critique is Economic Problems of Socialism in the USSR by J. V. Stalin, Peking, Foreign Languages Press, 1972 (1st edn).
The date for this document in the 1967 edition of Selected Works, volume VI, is 1959. The 1969 edition dates it 1958. There was no Ch’engchou (Chengzhou) Conference in November 1959, but there was one in November 1958. The document almost certainly dates from this earlier time.]

2 - 3:21
[Reply to Comrades A. V. Sanina and V. G. Venzher, included in Economic Problems.]

3 - 6:51
[A catty is 1.1 pounds.]

4 - 8:06
[Recipient of Stalin’s second letter, included in Economic Problems.]

5 - 8:45
[The wage system established in 1953 emphasized predominantly short-term individual material incentives. It established an eight-grade wage point system ranging from 139 to 390 wage points per month. Similar work in different regions would receive an equal number of work points, but the value of work points varied according to regional costs of living. By 1956, the wage point system had been replaced by a wage system, but the eight-grade structure was retained.]

6 - 9:16
[Experimental fields sought to develop new and advanced techniques, such as close planting, early planting, deep ploughing, etc. If successful in increasing output, the techniques would be popularized throughout China. By increasing production and thus the total wage fund, the experimental field concept could help undermine the ideological base of the graded wage system by demonstrating that specialists could learn from the peasants.]

7 - 9:46
[This is identical, in Chinese, to ownership by the whole people.]

Chapter 9

1 - 13:45
[Reply to Comrades A. V. Sanina and V. G. Venzher.]

2 - 15:56
[These first four paragraphs comment critically on the entire text. There follows a series of comments criticizing specific sections. Before each comment Stalin’s original text is given, as translated for Jen min ch’u pan she, 3rd edn, January 1958. (English edition: Peking, Foreign Languages Press, 1972.)]

3 - 19:11
[Mao is here talking about the excessive purchase of grain at the end of 1954 and the consequent rural grain shortages in the spring of 1955. Subsequently, the quota for state purchases was reduced by 7 billion catties and tension in the countryside eased. These occurrences, however, took place in the spring of 1955, not at the end of that year, which was characterized by the continuing high tide of collectivization in China’s countryside.]

4 - 27:59
[Material in brackets added from Stalin’s text to clarify the point.]

5 - 33:52
[Ch’in Shih Huang Ti (Qin Shi Huangdi), the first emperor, was a king of the state of Ch’in who, between 230 and 221 BC, conquered the neighbouring states and unified China. Under his rule, a feudal system was established, weights and measures and coinage were standardized. The legalist philosophy was the philosophical basis of the Ch’in. The first emperor is remembered for his burning of all non-utilitarian, ‘subversive’ literature in 213 BC].

6 - 33:55
[Ts’ao Ts’ao (Cao Cao) was a famous general and chancellor of the latter Han dynasty (AD 25–220) who played a significant role in the wars which finally toppled the Han and led to the epoch of divided empire called the three kingdoms.]

7 - 34:02
[Mencius. Mao seems to mean ‘Let’s not make a stock villain out of commodity production pedantically’.]
