[KS] Taedong Law, Sirhak school and the rise of factory style cottage industry

[Professor Junghee Lee]

Dear colleagues:

One of my students is having difficulty understanding in a simple way what the 
Taedong Law was and what effect it had.  Also how does that relate to the rise 
of factory style cottage industry the artisans somehow got rid of government 
control.  What kind of power the Sirhak school and what kind of changes 
actually occurred as the result of that movement and how these three things 
interact each other (Sirhak school, Taedong Law and the rise of the factory 
style cottage).

Thank you for any help you can provide sorting out this difficult and complex 
issue.

Best wishes,

Junghee Lee
