This book explores options for economic and social institutional
reform in Korea. It emphasizes the importance of Korea's cultural
heritage-not only in explaining the nation's recent growth but also
as a key element of its continued success.
Over the past three decades, South Korea has moved along a path of
strong economic growth and political democratization, attracting
worldwide attention and providing valuable lessons for other
developing economies. Yet Korea still must grapple with many
intractable problems fueled by its rapid industrialization and
uneven growth, including unbalanced distribution of wealth,
concentrated economic power, and adversarial relationships between
management and labor. Within the context of these sweeping changes,
this volume explores options for economic and social institutional
reform in Korea. Drawing on models of economic development from
Japan, the United States, and Europe, a distinguished group of
Asian and Western scholars relates the experiences of previously
industrialized economies to each facet of Koreas economic system,
including national management; taxation and banking; land ownership
and use; trade and industrial strategy; and relations among
business ownership, management, and labor. In so doing, the
contributors provide valuable insights and fresh proposals for a
viable model of social and economic modernization. Throughout the
volume, the contributors emphasize the importance of Koreas
cultural heritage-not only in explaining the nations recent growth
but also as a key element of its continued success. By providing an
overview of the evolution and interaction of Korean economic,
political, and sociocultural institutions, the contributors make
clear how these structures mediate the movement between cultural
values and economic progress.

Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson and Dave Franco return to reprise
their roles as criminal illusionists in this comedy crime drama. A
year on from their last daring heist, The Four Horsemen emerge from
hiding to expose the unethical practices of a corrupt tech magnate.
Unfortunately for them, they instead find themselves blackmailed
into stealing a powerful piece of technology by businessman Walter
Mabry (Daniel Radcliffe). Their quest to steal the decrypting
device known as 'The Stick' takes magicians Danny (Eisenberg),
Merritt (Harrelson), Jack (Franco) and their new partner Lula
(Lizzy Caplan) across the globe as they try to pull off another
elaborate life-or-death illusion, with help from their FBI insider
Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo). The cast also includes Morgan Freeman,
Jay Chou, Sanaa Lathan and Michael Caine.
The Asian economic crisis drew attention to the urgent need for
reforming social welfare programs. Korea survived the brunt of the
economic crisis, but is still faced with numerous socioeconomic
problems that emerged during and after the crisis period. This book
offers a comparative review of these problems and of welfare
reforms that have already been tried, together with proposals for
reforms that could be introduced to guarantee the the most
important human needs.
