Description

Explore the complex dynamics of the Korean economy through the lens of the textile industry. In Market and Society in Korea, McNamara examines how capital, labour, and the state interact to manage uncertainty and support entrepreneurship. This study uses the textile sector as a representative model to track the massive social shifts occurring over the last fifty years. Readers will follow the evolution of Korean business structures, tracing the movement from family-run firms to professional capitalism. The text also analyzes the transition from direct state control to modern regulation, and the shift from company unions to industry federations. By examining the perspectives of executives, labour leaders, and state officials, this book provides a clear view of how competing interests shape national development. It is an essential resource for those studying international business, economic history, and the changing social landscape of South Korea.
