Good way to understand Hong Kong social capital :)

I didn't really get much out of this book. The 'juicy' info was thin, and the portrayals of Hong Kongers' life wasn't particularly intriguing. But I got it for $0.95, so overall it was worth it.

Deng Xiao Ping well known formula of "one country, two systems" has been defined in this book. The relation of Hong Kong and China is quite unique. Throughout the book you will find many old but gold stories of Hong Kong springboard economic arena, it's pseudo freedom from the former colonial British, and some concerns on communism ideology of the mainland big brother, China.
