Based on numerous qualitative interviews, this cutting edge book
investigates how Hong Kong's economic structure and neoliberal
policies have contributed to class inequality in China's global
city. Inspired by Bourdieu's approach to class, the author examines
class stratification in education, works, and political attitudes
and argues that the lack of explicit class identifications among
the people does not imply irrelevance of class. Relying upon
empirical field data to question the applicability of the reflexive
modernization theory, the text debates whether individualization
makes class a redundant concept in advanced capitalist societies.
