More DescriptionMichael J. Enright, Edith E. Scott, and David Dodwell contend that the economic story of this vital colony is inextricably linked to its political story, and so this book attempts to reconcile Hong Kong's consistently profitable past with its forthcoming democratic uncertainties. Having conducted a year-long study of the competitiveness of its economy and industries, the authors thoroughly assess the small open economy that is Hong Kong, looking at history and hard numbers, geography and growth charts. The prosperity of the place is not only explained, it's examined, and the authors--each an expert on matters of international business and trade--are enthusiastic about their findings. Enright, Scott, and Dodwell maintain that, in spite of the political vulnerability which has always faced this territory, Hong Kong's prosperity is very likely to persist.
