Production Logic and Governance of Rural Collective Debt
Under the background of promoting the rural revitalization strategy,a new wave of rural collective economy has been set off in central and western China.At present,the development of rural collective economy is marked by the in-crease of collective operating income.Under the active promotion of local government,the scale operation of farming and breeding industry has become the main practice way of developing rural collective economy.The practice shows that the de-velopment of rural collective economy eventually leads to the production of collective debt.Different from the resource-pressing collective debt in the period of agricultural taxes and fees and the resource-importing collective debt in the period of resource decentralization after the abolition of agricultural taxes and fees,the collective debt in this stage is a kind of de-velopment-operating collective debt.The origin of rural collective debt lies in the structural dilemma of rural development in the central and western regions,that is,the operation soil of lack of development opportunities,the operation subject of incomplete marketization and breeding industry scale management mode.We should re-examine the policy discourse of developing rural collective economy,from increasing the income of collective economy to enhancing the ability of village collective"unified management",so as to lay a foundation for effective governance.The key to break this dilemma is to change the understanding of developing rural collective economy.On the one hand,we should fully understand the regional differences in the development of collective economy and promote the development of collective economy according to classi-fication.On the other hand,we should fully understand that the development of collective economy aims at effective govern-ance and enhances the ability of collective"unification"of village communities.
