Split into four chapters, Park charts the developmental phases of the DPRK economy under Kim Il Sung, Kim Jong Il, and current leader Kim Jung Un. He carefully cross-examines sources from within the DPRK, including the Complete Works of King Il Sung, Selected Works of Kim Jong Il, the Rodong Shinmun and the Chosun Central Yearbook. Where related literature relies on testimonies and interviews of defectors, this book offers a novel and comprehensive analysis of sources taken from North Korea, furnishing readers with new insights into the DPRK's economic management and construction policies. With its novel approach, this book will be of interest to researchers and advanced undergraduates of Korean history, Korean studies, and economic history"-- UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781003481737 ER -
