| Abstract | Hong Kong is spending ever more of its dollars on Social Security and alarm bells are ringing in some political camps. How is the government to act when the economy is slackening and when the demand for more benefits continues to be loud and ever more strident? Can the public appetite for programmes, once whetted, be put on a crash diet without triggering instability? The author argues for prudence in the wake of the West's recent war on dependency. |
