I ve just read Richard Pipes' book "Freedom and Property" (Alfred 
and Knopf, 1999). The main tenet of the book is that there is a 
complex relationship between these two, but on the general level 
you can't have the one without the other. Wonder what was the 
relationship between these two in Choson Korea? Has anybody 
compared the western and oriental notion of freedom and property. 
I think it would be useful for the Koreans to rethink the whole issue 
before they start the re-unification.
