For Cuban agriculture the relevant information is not available, but in both Soviet Central Asia and China significant, even considerable, inequalities in rural income distribution persist. Such inequality derives from difference in earning capacities of individual members (aggravated by the difference in their dependency ratios) within a basic production unit, differences between basic production units and differences between regions. Once again, as emerges from the experience of China, the minimum feasible inequality in any given historical and cultural situation is determined by the need to provide material incentives to ensure a reasonable rate of expansion of production ('development of productive forces') without which the very basis of an egalitarian social system would flounder.

Without doubt, agriculture in such societies would need to have a transition towards some form of joint farming, be it in the form of co-operative activities to cope with the indivisibilities or of fullscale communal farming. While in a system of private farming the most important question is that of the distribution of ownership, in a communal system it is Alternative Agrarian Systems in the Third World 21 the question of incentives (broadly defined, as we have done, to encompass the issues of the configuration of efficient production units and decentralisation).
