This is a book about Sir John Cowperthwaite, the man Nobel winning economist Milton Friedman identified as being behind Hong Kong's remarkable post-war economic transformation. Despite there being some articles about him and effusive obituaries, until now there has been no published biographies of Cowperthwaite. This is a unique story of dogged free market economics coupled with post-war British public administration and the true frit and ingenuity of the Chinese people. Were thee policies unique to a time and place, or are there lessons that we can draw from Cowperthwaite and from Hong Kong's success? Book jacket. No library descriptions found. |
