Lee Jae-yeol et al.: The quality of Korean society

This book is a serious insight into the external bone marrow growth theory of Korean society which tries to measure social development with economic and material wealth alone. It's not clear that the current dominant spirit of Korea in the 1960s, and the 1950s, followed by the democraticization of the 1960's and 1980s, is the same as the contemporary spirit of the Koreans. Some say that economic growth should be more developed, and others say democracy is a problem because it's incomplete, but the real growth that we have in our society is not economic growth or material. Meanwhile, as South Korea was walking on the path of compressed high growth and democracy, it sought ‘Do not ask,’ a victory in the procedural democracy. But what we need now is a growing, working, sharing of jobs and a cooperative political process based on social consensus and trust.
