Extract
Hagen Koo's recent book is the most comprehensive study on the Korean working class from the 1960s to the 1990s available in the English language. This study is a laudable attempt in the right direction towards balancing the overabundance of studies on economic development that focus on the role of the state generally to the detriment of the history of labor.
