后经济危机时代新自由主义在韩国的发展

Neo-liberalism in South Korea: Development in Post-economic-crisis Times

1997年亚洲金融风暴之后,韩国成为IMF的新自由主义模板,经济结构发生颠覆性变革。但变革并没有使韩国在中等发达国家的水平上更上一层楼,具有新自由主义特点的经济政策加剧了韩国经济结构的脆弱失衡,导致贫富差距扩大,社会矛盾激化。发达国家大力宣扬的新自由主义在韩国暴露了其巨大缺陷。与此同时在韩国国内,反对新自由主义的呼声越来越高,政府调控力量也逐步加强。韩国的经验教训对经济正在高速发展的中国是一个很好的启示。

After the Asian financial storm in 1997,South Korea becomes a model of neo-liberalism of IMF whose economic structure was overturned.The great change of its economic structure did not enable it further develop as a moderately developed country.Inversely,the economic policy with neo-liberalism features worsened the fragility and unbalance of the economic structure and enlarged gap between rich and poor,by which the social conflict was intensified.Huge shortage of neo-liberalism that was energetically advocated in developed countries was exposed in South Korea.Meanwhile,the voice that opposes neo-liberalism in South Korea became increasingly louder.The government strengthened the regulation.The lesson of South Korea provides a good enlightenment for China whose economy is rapidly developing.
