Beyond the attention economy, towards an ecology of attending. A manifesto
We endorse policymakers’ efforts to address the negative consequences of the attention economy’s technology but add that these approaches are often limited in their criticism of the systemic context of human attention. Starting from Buddhist philosophy, we advocate a broader approach: an ‘ecology of attending’ that centers on conceptualizing, designing, and using attention (1) in an embedded way and (2) focused on the alleviating of suffering. Wi…
Between Buddhist 'Self-Enlightenment' and 'Artificial Intelligence
As artificial intelligence (AI) outpaces the human brain, it is invoking wide-spread fear that men and machines are moving into a conflicting zone. Some even suspect that AI machines may one day consider human beings as slow and sloppy, and thus worthy of subordination or elimination. A growing challenge to mitigate the looming crisis requires science to expand its artificially augmented intelligence by incorporating elements from the ethical-spi…
Beyond Neo-liberalism
After painful reform and restructuring of post-1997 financial crisis, many scholars equated South Korea’s ‘post-developmental state’ with neo-liberal state. However, in doing so, they ignored South Korea’s lasting legacy of interventionist ‘developmental state’ that led nation’s miraculous transformation from a poor agrarian society to a prosperous industrial economy. This article stresses that South Korea indeed tried to adopt some of the policy…

By bringing society back into the study of capitalism, Hundt and Uttam offer an analysis that is as sweeping as it is revea…

The Political Economy of Korea
Korea's twin transitions – agrarian to industrial and industrial to post-industrial – transformed the country's political economy. Moving away from the traditional focus on aspects such as market, cul
Continuation of Status Quo under Colonial Economic Drain, 1910–45
During the late 19th century, the Joseon dynasty in Korea was already weak and counting its days. The royal authority was under Chinese suzerainty with tributary relations as a guiding framework for the bilateral relationship. The Korean state under the late Joseon dynasty can be regarded as predatory and rent-seeking, marred by rampant corruption. 1 The Korean elite Yangban class, comprised of officials and aristocrats, led a life of luxury at t…
Korea's New Techno-Scientific State
The article aims to map the process of transformation in the Korean ‘developmental state’ which is evolving into a new ‘techno-scientific state’. In the past, the Korean ‘developmental state’ directed national economic development by decisively controlling the entire financial system. However, after successfully leading economic change for half a century, the role of the Korean state appears to be drastically diminished. The literature that deals…
