coordinated, uncompetitive manner. The organization of health care from the province down to the production team level is quite interesting and is based on the practices of Huancheng Commune. The question of water conservancy is seen as a vehicle for mass mobilization and serves to reinforce organizational goals in the rural populations. Joseph Yu-shek Cheng analyzes economic development from 1968 to 1976. He blends a diverse set of explanations, covering foreign trade, rural commerce and incentives, and industry. While the discussion contains little new, the general reader will find a thoughtful review of the period. Lastly, in the only political policy chapter in the book, Ambrose Yeo-chi King discusses the post-Mao era. In a well-documented, straightforward manner, he analyzes the ambiguity and flexibility of Mao's thought into two policy alternatives—Radical Maoism and Modernization Maoism. King is concerned with the operational implications for integrated development and the revitalization of bureaucracy in the Weberian sense. My major criticism of the book is that few of the real, operational constraints to development, integrated or not, are discussed. Everything is just a bit too good. Only one paragraph hints that all, in fact, is not rosy (p. 132). A call for integrated development is positive but not new. The field of management refers to this as strategic planning. This book seeks to consolidate various disciplines and is to be respected for that. It is a contribution to the field and will be particularly useful for the general reader in the area of business, economics, and sociology.
