在金融全球化時代，香港金融業的重要性正迅速提升，香港有可能成為金融全球化總體格局中的重要一級。——邁克爾•艾略特（Michael Elliott）《三城記》（A Tale of Three Cities），《時代》週刊，2008過去30年間，香港經濟最矚目的“亮點”之一，就是她的金融業發展及其在金融全球化中的戰略地位。這是多種因素複合支持的結果。其中的一個重要因素是其具國際水平或者說與國際接軌的金
Between 1963 and 1972 America experienced over 750 urban revolts. Considered collectively, they comprise what Peter Levy terms a 'Great Uprising'. Levy examines these uprisings over the arc of the entire decade, in various cities across America. He challenges both conservative and liberal interpretations, emphasizing that these riots must be placed within historical context to be properly understood. By focusing on three specific cities as case studies - Cambridge and Baltimore, Maryland, and York, Pennsylvania - Levy demonstrates the impact which these uprisings had on millions of ordinary Americans. He shows how conservatives profited politically by constructing a misleading narrative of their causes, and also suggests that the riots did not represent a sharp break or rupture from the civil rights movement. Finally, Levy presents a cautionary tale by challenging us to consider if the conditions that produced this 'Great Uprising' are still predominant in American culture today.
