Cosmopolitan Capitalists

"In the past 150 years as a British colony, Hong Kong had changed from a barely inhabitable colonial entrepot to one of the world''s leading financial and industrial centers. Cut off from China for nearly 40 years following World War II and now faced with the dilemma of a new social and economic order under Chinese law, many Hong Kongers uprooted themselves and moved to a new country; others decided to stay; but a great many chose to maintain their lives and livelihoods in Hong Kong, while spreading their assets and their family members around the world."--Jacket.
