I don't think anyone says that there weren't problems with Maoist economic policies. However, choosing to regress back into capitalism demonstrates a failure of imagination and a capitulation to the idea that you need capitalism to develop production. The interesting thing is that for the first 15 years of dengism there wasn't that much of an economic improvement. In fact, the economy went into crisis in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
