Description
This foundational 1979 study examines Hong Kong's remarkable transformation from a traditional entrepot economy into a major industrial city-state and financial centre in the Far East. The work documents Hong Kong's extraordinary economic growth over three decades, during which per capita income increased approximately 13 times to nearly USUSD3,000 by 1978, positioning the territory third in the Far East region behind only Japan and Singapore. The analysis includes Hong Kong's export performance, which multiplied 11 times and ranked 20th globally. This Routledge Revivals edition presents a comprehensive collection of essays exploring the economic, social, and political dimensions of Hong Kong's development, providing historical context and detailed examination of the factors contributing to one of the modern world's most celebrated economic success stories. The work includes a comprehensive bibliography for further research.
