Park Chung-hee: Dictator or benevolent autocrat?


The Korea Herald published my analysis of Willam Easterly's paper "Benevolent Autocrats." Check it out at the CFE Website. Easterly questions if "benevolent autocrats" really deserve credit for high economic growth.

The Idiots' Collective calls it "a must-read" piece.

I agree.

Hi,
I came across your blog today on the Korean blog list.

It's certainly one of the more informative Korean blogs around.

My wife and I have a blog at strange-lands.com and we're looking to add good quality blogs to it.

Would you like to exchange links?

All the best
Jimmy

Thanks, Jim and Rach,

Don't expect many hits, I don't post very often these days.

Be sure to check out my latest post, I will be the MC of a big event next week. RSVP and join if you have time and are interested.

Thanks! We've popped your link up too.

Unfortunately we won't be in Seoul then but I'd be interested in reading about it afterwards.

Jim and Rach,

Thanks for linking to me and giving me the inspiration to post.

We are expecting to get some media at the event so hopefully it will get written about in the newspapers.
