Democracy, Decline and Vested Interests

By admin On 2015/05/13 · Add Comment · 5,716 views
(This essay was published in Hong Kong Economic Journal on 13 May 2015.)In little over a month, Hong Kong’s legislature will most likely make a choice to continue the status quo for another seven years.

(This essay was published in Hong Kong Economic Journal on 6 May 2015.)The developments surrounding the 2017 Chief Executive elections tell a tale of the pan-democratic coalition held hostage to radical minority interests capable of only repeating ideologically disciplined positions. It also tell a tale of an establishment coalition where no minority interest is prepared to change. . . . . Hong Kong may become stuck in a permanent political deadlock if we fail to have a Chief Executive elected through universal suffrage. This may well be the only foreseeable electoral reform that holds out some promise of changing our politics from its current state.

(This essay was published in Hong Kong Economic Journal on 29 April 2015.)In Hong Kong, regulatory costs have contributed significantly to greater inequality, less social upward mobility, slower economic innovation, and greater political divisiveness.

By admin On 2015/04/08 · Add Comment · 3,539 views
(This essay was published in Hong Kong Economic Journal on 8 April 2015.)By keeping families together, we prevent more children from falling into a state of disadvantage that will be detrimental to their future upward social mobility. Why foster and concentrate the poor and the divorced in publicly subsidized ghettos? Poor children deserve a better deal. A city of homeowners is also less politically divided.
