This book contrasts the economic policies and results of Hong Kong and Cuba in the post-war period. It examines the key role played by John Cowperthwaite and Che Guevara in establishing their economic philosophies. Having executed their distinct policies for over 60 years the two economies are a remarkable economic natural experiment.

This is a book about Sir John Cowperthwaite - the man Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman identified as being behind Hong Kong's remarkable post-war economic transformation. Despite there being some articles about him and effusive obituaries there have, until now, been no published biographies of Cowperthwaite.
