Gudin backed agrarian credit policy but opposed redistribution of land

Evidence

Gudin called for agrarian reforms, though he rejected left-wing demands (for radical redistribution of land): Economists would point out the need to increase productivity and the availability of credit to “increase the cake.” … But he conceded that (low) credit worthiness of small farmers and (high) risk involved in agricultural lending might require the involvement of government institutions (Gudin, 1958, 6). — Philip Mirowski & Dieter Plehwe (eds.), The Road from Mont Pèlerin, 1311
