Product Information
“Alice Poon has eloquently articulated the complex relationship between Hong Kong’s land system, monopolization of real estate development, industrial concentration, and economic and social problem in the SAR. She traces the Hong Kong government’s land policy back to the colonial era and explains how the real estate developer conglomerates managed to secure and sustain oligopolies in major economic sectors, a situation that has eventually led to ever-deepening social and economic inequalities in Hong Kong. She suggests a solution that is unequivocally targeted a t land monopoly – the mother of all monopolies – in the SAR.
I strongly recommend this book to any individual looking for a clear, insightful resource for understanding how the once freest and most laissez-faire market could be turned into a system of oligopolies where the ordinary citizens are so subjugated and social justice so understand.
