商品描述

This book analyses neo-liberal economic policy in Hong Kong and its relationship to British colonial governance. Using historical, political, and economic examples, the author argues that the growth and stability experienced by Hong Kong in the post-WWII/pre-1997 era was a direct result of policies enacted by the British in an effort to maintain colonial dominance in an era of decolonization rather than the independent workings of the free market. The book works through examples of policies employed by the British in Hong Kong, such as the creation of artificial scarcity in colonial land policy, the construction of large-scale public housing and the Mass Transit Railway System, and education policy that favored competition. Challenging long-accepted narratives, this book draws a direct line between market fundamentalism and direct colonial control. As such, this book will be of interest to scholars and students of economics, political science, history, and those studying the Asia-Pacific region.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書分析了香港的新自由主義經濟政策及其與英國殖民治理的關係。作者透過歷史、政治和經濟的例子，主張香港在二戰後至1997年前所經歷的增長與穩定，直接源於英國為了在去殖民化時代維持殖民統治而實施的政策，而非自由市場的獨立運作。本書探討了英國在香港所採用的政策範例，例如在殖民地土地政策中創造人為稀缺性、大規模公共住房的建設以及偏向競爭的教育政策。挑戰長久以來被接受的敘事，本書將市場原教旨主義與直接殖民控制之間劃上了直接的聯繫。因此，本書將吸引經濟學、政治學、歷史學的學者和學生，以及研究亞太地區的人士的興趣。
