Answers:
- allow workers to compete for wages
- capitalist reforms that Mao viewed as anti-Communist
- permit farmers to sell excess crops
Reason: In the early 1960s pragmatic economic measures (restoring incentives, wage differentials, and allowing peasants to sell surplus) were seen by Mao as "capitalist" backsliding. Those reforms prompted him to launch the Cultural Revolution. The other options describe actions taken during the Revolution (prosecuting officials, mobilizing student paramilitaries), not the proposed economic changes.
