Abstract
Informality is both a key way in which people do things, and a crucial policy issue for development and governance. This lecture will discuss ideas about informality in human society generally, then will concentrate on economic informality. This study will use Hong Kong as a case study to examine these issues, drawing on 35 years of ethnographic and archival research.
非正式性既是人们做事的主要方式，也是发展和治理的关键政策问题。本演讲首先概括性地讨论人类社会的非正式性，然后集中讨论经济层面的非正式性。本研究以中国香港为例，展示了持续35年的实地考察成果。
