a monograph that presents an ethnography of South Korea\u2019s asset
seekers, including amateur stock investors, real estate enthusiasts, and
money coaches, to demonstrate how financialized asset capitalism is
sustained. As they hunt for profit margins, rent, and dividends, they
simultaneously critique capitalism and posit their pursuit of assets as a
form of resistance. </p>
<p>Bohyeong Kim theorizes this new spirit of capitalism in South Korea
as \u201ccritical capitalism,\u201d arguing that it reflects the popular
discontent with both national development and financial neoliberalism.
As a paradoxical critique and legitimation, Bohyeong Kim argues that
critical capitalism valorizes the capitalist economy not through a
triumphant narrative, but by highlighting the emotional wounds,
destroyed communities, and oppressive tactics of modern capitalism. </p>
<p>Drawing on multi-sited ethnography and in-depth interviews with a broad community of aspiring millionaires, <em>Critically Capitalist</em>
illuminates how contemporary capitalism thrives by channeling
discontent into financial and real estate markets, which in turn has
cemented critical capitalism as the cultural and affective backbone of
South Korea\u2019s economy.</p>
<p>The book author, Bohyeong Kim, will share highlights of the book. Q&A will follow.</p>
