Editor's Note:
In 1997, Hong Kong’s economy was one-fifth the size of China’s. Twenty years later, it is just around one-fiftieth. Regardless of China’s incredible growth, Hong Kong’s once prosperous economy is, in fact, declining. Against all odds, it is simply not benefiting from its big neighbor. This book argues that the city’s innovative capacity is hindered by its problematic political structures, and traces the economic, political and social status quo back through to the turbulent years since the Handover, arguing that Hong Kong’s only way out of this vicious circle of steady economic recession is a drastic remodeling of its political structure.
