During the Second World War almost all buildings--except for a certain pagoda--were destroyed by Japanese bombing and most inhabitants took to living in caves, the traditional dwellings of Shaanxi.
While Yan'an was the center of Chinese Communist life, many prominent Western journalists including Edgar Snow and Anna Louise Strong met with Mao Zedong and other important leaders for interviews.
Politically, Yan'an symbolizes for many a utopian period in modern China's History where Chinese Communists sought to realize their idealized vision of life, culture, and social justice, and thus stands almost a former "golden age" when Communist principles and ideals were actively pursued by many sincere, youthful supporters.

But once basic industry had been developed new investment was more likely to be impeded by investment that had occurred in the past resulting in the growth of ample capacity—able to satisfy not only current demand but also further expansions in demand--in most industries.
This shift in emphasis in Sweezy’s argument--where larger historical factors similar to those raised by Hansen gained more prominence, and the problem of monopolistic accumulation was then seen as taking place in that larger context of “maturity and stagnation,”--became even more pronounced in Sweezy and Magdoff’s writings in the 1980s.
