in 1960 it was the poorest country in the UN. its per capita gdp was lower than north korea and bangladesh. further proof that it's about culture, institutions, and capitalism.

i recently visited and was blown away by their infrastructure and how high-tech everything was. seoul makes NYC look like a third-world shithole. of course i still prefer NYC for other reasons.

Astonishing rise to prosperity isn't it

They worked for it too, all credit to them

Don't know for sure, but I believe Koreans now work like sararimen in Japan 30 years ago i.e. all the time

The point is that they built a first world country out of rubble in a generation, they must have worked hard and smart

Well, don't overweight recent history too much, on the other hand

Korea was never a TOTAL basket case - they had advanced turtle ships and shit and a sophisticated bureaucracy/etc in prior centuries too

OK but a sophisticated bureaucracy dedicated to isolating them from the outside world. Still, you're right, a functioning system

Is wife beating still common there? I read that used to be part of the culture or something.
