Also, various recent surveys have put Macao at the very top of the list in terms of per capita GDP, as its economy grew shortly after the resumption of Chinese sovereignty. How could a tiny city without any natural resources on the southern coast of China have managed to achieve such a miraculous level of development? This book presents an unparalleled study of Macaos economic dynamism and its gambling industry not only by merging historical and current developments, but also by presenting solid subjective and objective indicators and evidence. It offers an indispensable resource for students, researchers, and general readers looking to understand Macaos gambling miracle. 000696358 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000696358 650_0 $$aGambling industry$$zChina$$zMacau (Special Administrative Region) 000696358 650_0 $$aEconomic development$$zChina$$zMacau (Special Administrative Region) 000696358 651_0 $$aMacau (China : Special Administrative Region)$$xEconomic conditions. 000696358 7001_ $$aYin, Baoshan,$$eauthor. 000696358 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aZheng, Hongtai, author.$$tGambling dynamism$$z9783642407482$$w(OCoLC)858012108 000696358 85280 $$bebk$$hSpringerLink 000696358 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-40749-9$$zOnline Access 000696358 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:696358$$pGLOBAL_SET 000696358 980__ $$aEBOOK 000696358 980__ $$aBIB 000696358 982__ $$aEbook 000696358 983__ $$aOnline 000696358 994__ $$a92$$bISE
