- Summary:
- The structure of the book revolves around an analysis of the roles of the individual and family in the ongoing development of a capitalist Asian society at the end of the twentieth century. The study chimes with the post-war history of Korea: in just two generations, a hard-working and organized people have turned a war-racked and poverty-stricken country into the world's ninth largest economy. More recently, it has shown its resilience and dynamism by an achieving an incredible recovery from the Asian economic crisis of the 1990s.
