summary
The editorials collected in this book date from 1975 to 1984—when the signing of the Joint Declaration between Britain and China, and Hong Kong lead to intense debates about this incongruous scenario. Dr. Lam’s editorials and conjectures provided a focal point for discussing Hong Kong’s future. His views on housing, assimilating immigrants, the collusion of politics and business still inform.
