Of interest to readers and policymakers in countries that receive migrants through family reunion and manpower admission schemes from low-income countries and strive to assimilate them into their communities, this book presents a case study of the integration of migrants from Mainland China in Hong Kong. It shows that early optimism of quick economic assimilation has given way to a more realistic view of a long, arduous process extending to the second generation. While the case of Hong Kong is unique in a number of ways, the book serves as a useful policy reference for other countries that attempt to balance the intake of migrants for family reunion with the admission of high-quality migrants who possess skills in demand in the economy.

Ten Years Later
By: Paul Mueller

Much of what you’ve been taught about the 2008 financial crisis is incorrect. It wasn’t caused by free market capitalism, but by market distortions from government subsidies and misregulation. The new regulations haven’t solved the problem—in fact, they may have made it worse.
