Crack-Up Capitalism Chapter 2: City in Shards - Hong Kong's Breakup
Chapter 1 showed how Hong Kong became a model for free market thinkers around the world. Chapter 2 asks a different question: what happens when you try to copy that model? Slobodian takes us to London, where Thatcher’s government tried to build mini Hong Kongs inside British cities. The result was not a free market paradise. It was a city broken into pieces.
