it's the ideal society.

The most free economy on earth, but at the same time it is one of the most socially conservative and controlled.

It is what China has tried to achieve since the 80's.

I remember reading articles by jim rogers in 08 bestowing mad praise on singapore. Looks like he was right. Dont really have a desire to visit but the article was interesting.

Doesnt 85% of Singaporeans live in public housing? doesnt sound very free-market to me.

I had an uncle who moved to Singapore from London, and he's made a lot of money there

says he likes it somewhat

Everyone I know says that Singapore sucks and there's not much to do, and that Hong Kong is better.

"Pangaea, though just over a year old, is now considered the most profitable club in the world with revenues of more than $100,000 per night in recent months, Ault says."

Never knew party clubs can make such money.

My father visited Singapore once in the 80's when I was a little kid and said he couldn't believe how clean that it was over there. I can only imagine what it looks like now.

Everyone knows I'm in Cuba and I love Cubans

besides Hong Kong, it's probably the most free market country out there.

If Chile and Estonia keep up their growth they'll eventually make it to top 5. Also lol @ America losing ground. The U.S. is like the Titanic. All of the smart people are abandoning ship before it sinks.

Singapore is a Stepford city state. Boring as fukk, sterile and soulless. Limited political freedoms, essentially a one-party state (though that may be changing) and a lot of censorship.

Hong Kong is way more fun.
