Summary
The conclusion of the book recaps the main arguments, but also examines the recent emphasis of the Kim Jong Un regime on the “improvement of people’s livelihood” and on the development of science and technology. We also draw on the implications of the analysis for thinking about development and catch-up industrialisation more broadly. The conclusion also makes some projections concerning North Korea’s future development.
