De volta à concorrência imperfeita

De volta à concorrência imperfeita:

"A small city-state devoid of resources but with a huge hinterland, like Hong Kong, may get rich in the same `natural' way as Venice and Holland did. Studying the inner mechanisms of such states, however, makes it clear that the principle of wealth creation - from the cost of a taxi licence in Hong Kong to the city's huge corporations - is not perfect competition, but rent seeking, that is, profiting from imperfect rather than from perfect competition."
