A clear and graphic examination of the men who govern Hong Kong, this study takes the reader from a historical perspective to a view of the colony's present unique standing as a financially successful industrial society in a world of inflation and recession. The book is based on published and unpublished papers and statistics on budgetary allocations, and on the first set of interviews ever completed with a cross-section of Hong Kong's entire administrative leadership.
