- Summary:
- For more than four decades, free-market economists and right-wing politicians have touted Hong Kong as a model of capitalism and a market economy success story Social Security Policy in Hong Kong From British Colony to China's Special Administrative Region, by Chak Kwan Chan, argues that Hong Kong's capitalism is not the result of democratic choice but the consequence of an administrative led polity that has suppressed democracy, limited trade unions' activities, and manipulated traditional Chinese welfare ideologies to maintain a small government. Social Security Policy in Hong Kong is the first book that systematically analyzes the dynamic relationships between Hong Kong's polity, Chinese welfare ideologies, and social security provisions from British colonial rule to China's special administrative region.
