About this book
Between 1949 and 1997, Hong Kong transformed from a struggling British colonial outpost into a global financial capital. Made in Hong Kong delivers a new narrative of this metamorphosis, revealing Hong Kong both as a critical engine in the expansion and remaking of postwar global capitalism and as the linchpin of Sino-U.S. trade since the 1970s.
Author / Editor information
Peter E. Hamilton is an assistant professor in modern Chinese history at Trinity College Dublin.
Reviews
Priscilla Roberts, editor of Hong Kong in the Cold War:
An ambitious, provocative, and pathbreaking interpretation of the contributions of Hong Kong business elites to Sino-U.S. relations in the twentieth-century. This work represents a major contribution to both international and economic history by raising questions and illuminating the nature of transnational networks and business institutions.
