“…Interregional migration has become an important driver shaping the country's economic landscape as a response to two trends. Not only China's economic growth has slowed in recent years, in part because of the effect of the 2008 global financial crisis, but also its population growth has also reduced from 1.1% per annum in the 1990–2000 period to 0.3% per annum in 2000–2010 (Hodgson & Huang, ). Regions do not prosper without the mobility of people.…”

Interregional migration has become an important driver shaping the economic landscape in China. By using 2010 Chinese census data, this study investigates the determinants of interregional migration and their implications for regional growth, estimated using principal component analysis, and a negative binomial regression model. In particular, it measures the roles of region size, income and lifestyle, green spaces, and employment opportunities in the origin and destination regions, and distance between the two regions. In addition to confirming the continuing influence of economic indicators as well as distance (owing to high moving costs), the findings presented herein add to the policy debate by encouraging regional policymakers to consider the effects of income, lifestyle, and green spaces. A strategy based on cheap labour is no longer encouraging growth in China, while many regions are suffering from environmental degradation. To address these shortcomings, an amenities‐based growth strategy concerning income, lifestyle, and green spaces for regional development is discussed, and policy implications are suggested.

“…This standard ingredient was also withdrawn by the Chinese state from both the collective and the peasants, which seems to be inconsistent with the liberal idea of ownership. This has been criticized on many grounds, such as the limits it imposes on peasants' access to institutional credit, especially to medium-and long-term loans (Feder, et al, 1990;Sargeson, 2012;Hodgson and Huang, 2013).…”

“…In China, however, questions have arisen about the way in which land expropriations are conducted. There have been numerous incidents of fraud and abuse in which Chinese peasants have been denied fair compensation: there is a gap between the law-in-the-books and the law-in-practice, between the practical operation of the legal system and the formal rights structures (Wong, 2014;Hodgson & Huang, 2013). .…”

This paper addresses a puzzle which at first glance might seem rather parochial but which is, we believe, of considerable practical as well as theoretical importance. The puzzle is that surrounding Marx's ideas about property and, in particular, property in his imagined 'post-capitalist' society of the future. It is well known that Marx was critical of 'capitalist private property' in the means of production. In the 1844 Manuscripts, for example, he anticipated with enthusiasm the replacement of capitalist societies based on private property by communist societies based on 'truly human and social property' (Marx, 1970 [1844], p.118). In similar vein, in Capital, written twenty years later, he looked forward to the 'transformation of capitalistic private property … into socialised property' (Marx, 1961 [1867], p.715), and in the Critique of the Gotha Programme contemplated the creation of 'co-operative property' and a 'co-operative society based on common ownership of the means of production' (Marx, 2010b [1875], p.345). It is often forgotten, however, that in the Manuscripts he also wrote of the need to preserve the 'positive essence of private property' (Marx, 1970 [1844], p.135); that in Capital he anticipated not only the emergence of 'socialised property' but the simultaneous establishment of 'individual property' (Marx, 1961 [1867], p.715); and that in The Civil War in France he praised the Paris Commune's attempt to 'make individual property a truth' (Marx, 2010a [1871], p.213). Even a sympathetic commentator like Chris Arthur is driven to ask, 'What on earth does [this] mean'? (Arthur, 2004, p.114) How can 'individual property' and 'socialised'/'truly social property' in the means of production co-exist?
