Diversity and Occasional Anarchy cover

The world economic landscape has experienced seismic changes in the 15 years after restoration of sovereignty over Hong Kong from Britain to China. Fortunately the Hong Kong economy has remained steadfast and is still making progress, but public confidence in the governance of the SAR government has declined, and economic and social dissatisfaction have flared. Where should Hong Kong go from here in the face of all kinds of contradictions? Economist Yue-Chim Richard Wong provides an analysis of the origins of these contradictions and shares his insights on these issues. All those concerned about Hong Kong's future should not miss this collection of essays.

Diversity and Occasional Anarchy presents a totally new interpretation of the current political economy of Hong Kong. Professor Richard Wong makes full use of his abundant public experience in reviewing Hong Kong society's complex dynamics. Every chapter details powerful insights. The book is a must read for anyone interested in the future development of Hong Kong. -- Dr. Victor Fung, Chairman of Fung Global Institute
