Since he moved to Hong Kong, Ross has witnessed at first hand the explosive growth of China and the rising living standards achieved by the Chinese people as a direct result of the reduced state control that followed Deng Xiaoping‘s adoption of market principles.“As a family man, I believe that the normal human life-cycle is becoming much harder to complete in industrial societies, because all states act against personal autonomy and family values, and employ technology for futile inter-state competition. The distortion of normal human social organization is the ultimate cause of most of the systematic problems that confront humans today,” he says.visualizza meno
