The remarkable success of twentieth-century Hong Kong was driven by electricity. The British colony's stunning export-driven economic growth, its status as a Cold War capitalist dynamo, its energetic civil society, its alluring urban modernity-all of these are stories of electricity's transformative power. Mark L. Clifford illuminates the history of electrification in Hong Kong tracing how a power company and its visionary founder jumpstarted Hong Kong's postwar economic rise and set in motion far-reaching political and social change.
