In the past, the South Korean government supported protectionist policies. Mr. Lee, arguing that these policies no longer serve the long-term interest of South Korea's economy, supports the allowance of greater private-sector initiatives, a fundamental paradigm shift in South Korea's economic policy. He argues that if South Korea is to become a major economic power, the government should withdraw from the economic front line. He also provides a succinct analysis of the vast economic potential of a reunified Korea and discusses the pros and cons of two alternative scenarios for the South Korean economy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hyung-Koo Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0791428885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780791428887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e State University of New York Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 254\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.91h x 5.88w x 0.63d","brand":"Hyung-Koo Lee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48448944341247,"sku":"9780791428887","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cbb77f23-7ba1-479a-80b2-d8d961cf145b.jpg?v=1777261287","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-korean-economy-hyung-koo-lee-9780791428887","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
