I will review. Russ Roberts is pretty good. He leans closer to no governance than any.

Still, Hong Kong being different now is because the powerful (China) changed the government to favor themselves. This is actually an example of government falling to powerful interests in short order.

Singapore has as bad or worse of income inequality as the US, and I wouldn't say the US is well governed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_income_eq...

Still, I don't want to take equality as a primary metric since I think inequality to some degree is natural.

Singapore is however a infamously repressive regime as mentioned by ardy42
