Abstract
Testo disponibile solo in lingua inglese.
The author of this article (with an introduction by Galeazzo Scarampi, ceo of Investor Asia) is the Financial Secretary – a super economics and finance minister – of Hong Kong. Sir Donald Tsang first undertook this important position during the colonial administration, when he was, perhaps, the first non-Scotsman to be entrusted with the keys to the Hong Kong "safe". The views of a man who administered the main regional finance centre during the Asian crisis are of great empirical interest, even for readers who do not agree with some of his theoretical positions.
