'Goodstadt demonstrates how the neglect of social rights in managing the SAR has brought about serious consequences through the discussion of housing, medical services, and education. A highly readable title with a lot of interesting arguments for those who really care about Hong Kong.' --Lui Tai-lok, Department of Asian and Policy Studies, Education University of Hong Kong 'Goodstadt utilizes his long experience in public policy in Hong Kong to interpret the city's mismanagement. He supplies a devastating critique of the fallacy of the approach taken by the Chief Executives and the senior leaders.' --David R. Meyer, Olin Bus 'Goodstadt gives a well-grounded and relentless rebuke of the HKSAR government for failing to safeguard lives, quality of living and the interests of its people in the past twenty years. It is a poignant siren that calls for reflection and correction.' --Christine M. S. Fang, Department of Social Work and Social Administration, The University of Hong Kong
