Yoo Jae-yong: Why are we obsessed with hereditary succession?
While the President, representing the government, is replaced every five years, the heads of chaebols, representing the business world, lead our economy even as their leadership continues for up to four generations. It is a highly unique phenomenon found only in Korea that the fate of a nation is determined by those who inherited their positions through family businesses, rather than those who rose to their posts through merit. Why are our companies managed differently from those in developed countries? Is this our strength or weakness? Above all, can we escape the current stagnation with such a system? Yoo Jae-yong, an economics specialist and editorial writer for MBC, explains his long-held concerns regarding hereditary succession and offers alternatives through lighthearted examples rather than dry economic terminology.
