Hong Kong now has more super-rich people than any other city

Capitalism in its current form doesn't seem to be working for society.

It works, it is just how the gains are distributed. In the good times it mattered less that the few gained a lot while most just a little. In harder times this is so much more apparent. The trouble is that the few control almost everything.

many years back I was about to buy a house in Las Pinadas on CWB Rd
HKD 1.25m then and I had the funds
Someone persuaded me to invest in his company instead - guaranteed winner
needless to say, that disappeared without success
Las Pinadas houses are now HKD 35-40m if you are lucky
It shows how the property market has been completely manipulated here as Asia's money laundry capital

To be fair @dynamco - the investment might have also been worth $35-45 million if you'd bet on Amazon or Google at that time.

I would still argue it is not working for the overall good of society. Systems appear are skewed to benefit large organisations. Leaders of countries like their stock markets to go up...
