Why did this capitalist evolution happen in China, but not in North Korea?
Yeah, it seems like in North Korea they never got the very basic
thing that you need for the success of businesses, which is property rights.
Jesse, the character in the story, built a successful business, but after she got ratted out by her uncle, she had no recourse.
There's no court system.
There's no ownership of of what she had.
Do you have any hope for North Korea to eventually become an economically successful state?
I mean, the story did demonstrate that people want something different.
And of course, there is the prospect of the two Koreas eventually reunifying.
Could that ever work?
It would be the biggest economic news of my lifetime.
I I hope I can be there.
Oliver this season on summer school, we're asking each professor to give us a big lesson we could take from the country that might help here in the United States.
There is a lot that we could learn from South Korea.
Which one would you suggest?
So in other words, you could provide money to build a a new silicon chip factory out in the desert, but don't just make that for the United States and don't just protect it with tariffs.
Make sure that plant is the best in the world.
Excellent advice.
And you even used one of our vocabulary words from today, export discipline.
Another word we can throw in around conversation or use on the test, which is coming next week, is the term industrial ladder.
