[KS] Koreanstudies Digest, Vol 88, Issue 17

[Hwang, Su-Kyoung]

Dear Aidan.

Thanks. This is a nice recommendation. Well worth the attention,
when the Chicago school is about to set up Milton Friedman Institute.
I thought the book ban was a joke... unbelievably medieval. I wonder
what other books are still banned.

Best wishes,
Su-kyoung Hwang

Dear friends and colleagues,

I think and hope the name and work of Ha-Joon  Chang
will be known to many on these lists.

Currently teaching in Cambridge (the original one),  he
is one of the most interesting economists alive  today.
At a time when capitalism manifestly isn't working  well,
his heterodox views are all the more important to  hear.

He has a new website: _www.hajoonchang.net_ (http://www.hajoonchang.net)
which is an good place to get to know his work.

Don't miss his vivid account of growing up in a poorer  Korea:
_http://www.hajoonchang.net/downloads/Bad%20Samaritans%20Prologue.pdf_
(http://www.hajoonchang.net/downloads/Bad%20Samaritans%20Prologue.pdf)
This would be an excellent text to give to students also.

Unbelievably, in 2008 some of his books were blacklisted by the
ROK military from conscripts' reading, as supposedly seditious!

(http://english.hani.co.kr/arti/english_edition/e_national/301730.html)

I don't know whether this idiotic and shameful ban is still in  place,
or if MND has now seen sense. (Of course, it only boosted sales.)

Best wishes
Aidan FC
