Why did Mao use political mobilization to prevent inefficiency and slack?

Upvote:1

I learned from China Under Mao: A Revolution Derailed that there are three solutions to the drawbacks of a socialist economy:

rely on the experts and scientific management;
import market as a supplement to the planned economy;
use political mobilization and promote party leadership and hard work

Mao chose the third one because

he had tried that in Manchuria and won the civil war against the Nationalist;
the first approach may need the party to yield/cede authority to the technical specialists;
the second approach would provide the educated elites a ladder to their positions, threatening their status finally. (refer to this case)
