There are many Ha-Joon-Chang impersonators out there as budding South Koran economists work hard to replicate the fame of this Cambridge University professor. Chang has hundreds of youtube clips and the cult of Chang is all over the world perhaps no where stronger than in his native south Korea. one of the bidding stars to replace Ha Joony is Shin Jang-Sup who wants to be the Ha-Joon of the 21 st century. he has done economic reports with his mentor and has a lot to say about the intricacies of the IMF and how they attempt to sloe the growth of emerging economies and potential rivals of European global capitalist hegemony of the world. He is a professor of economics in Singapore an expert on emerging markets and how best to grow a country from nothing to an industrial powerhouse quickly which often involves protecting the export business in the countries from outside competition. I find nothing more amazing than South Korean and Asian economics and the alternative solution it offers the world . Shin has interviewed and written extensively about the rise and fall of Korean Daewoo industries and motors as Shin has consistently spoke out against corporate restructuring, which was often achieved through massive layoffs and sales of profitable assets to foreign capital at a cheap price. Shin knows his shit and interviewed the one time head of Daewoo for like some eighty straight hours in preparation for his book. The demise of Daewoo Group, the nation’s second-biggest conglomerate in 1998 with 76.7 trillion won ($75.6 billion) in assets, rattled the nation as the biggest failure in the corporate world. If you want to read about the power of conglomerates and state enterprises working together for mutual benefit then the stuff offered by this writer is available and recommended reading.
