Review: First four chapters of this book discuss the general concept of agri-
cultural taxes, the history of agricultural taxes and land levies in
China, and the nature and forms of agricultural taxes. The remaining
five chapters deal with the problems of equalizing thr. tax burden, the
determination of tax rate, land assessment, taxation in kind, and the
future of agricultural taxes.
This book is primarily a historical and theoretical discussion of
agricultural taxes. Although the author defends the agricultural taxes
levied by the Central People's Government, he predicts that the pres-
ent system will be altered as industrialization and the collectiviza-
tion of agriculture takes place. The author predicts that agriculture
will be collectivized, and that, following the Soviet Russian pattern,
taxes in kind will be abandoned and replaced by income taxes.
