must be strong.\u003cbr\u003e A strong state is needed to suppress violence, enforce the law, and provide the public services essential for people to live with the capacity to pursue their own choices.\u003cbr\u003e A strong and cohesive society is needed to control and restrain a powerful state.\u003cbr\u003e The Gilgamesh problem cannot be solved with doppelganger solutions and checks and balances.\u003cbr\u003e If society does not guard against the state, the value of the constitution and the guarantee of rights is nothing more than the value of the paper on which it is written.\u003cbr\u003e Between the fear and oppression of a dictatorship and the violence and lawlessness of the absence of a state, there is a narrow corridor to liberty. \u003cbr\u003eIt is in this very corridor that the state and society find their balance.\u003cbr\u003e Balance is not achieved overnight, like a revolution.\u003cbr\u003e Striking a balance means that the nation and society are constantly fighting each day.\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"The Narrow Corridor to Freedom\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The second reason why we believe that authoritarian growth will remain limited is also fundamental.\u003cbr\u003e As we emphasized in our previous work, \"Why Nations Fail,\" achieving sustained economic growth requires not only secure property rights, trade, and investment, but also innovation and continuous productivity growth, the latter being more important.\u003cbr\u003e These things are much more difficult to achieve under the watchful eye of a tyrannical Leviathan.\u003cbr\u003e Innovation requires creativity, and creativity requires the freedom of individuals to act fearlessly, to experiment, and to forge their own paths, even if others don't like them. \u003cbr\u003eThis kind of freedom is difficult to sustain under a dictatorship.\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Janus-Faced Autocratic Growth\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Over the next two millennia, China periodically encountered various attempts to reintroduce Shang Yang's model, most recently when the Communists, who came to power after 1949, implemented their own version of the system in the form of collective farms.\u003cbr\u003e The Confucian model was implemented in modern times after 1978, when collectivization was reversed under Deng Xiaoping and Chinese leaders began to attack corruption that ran counter to Confucius's principles of governance by virtue.\u003cbr\u003e To understand what might happen in the future in China, it is important to understand this historical oscillation between Legalism and Confucianism.\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"The Rise and Fall of the Static System and Its Resurgence\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e It is. \u003cbr\u003eThe most common way social scientists discuss the implications of different structural factors is to argue that they naturally create connections that lead to particular types of economic and political development.\u003cbr\u003e For example, it has been argued that war and military mobilization strengthen state capacity, or that certain types of crops, such as sugar or cotton, breed despotism, while others, such as wheat, create the conditions for democracy.\u003cbr\u003e Our conceptual framework will show why this claim is not necessarily true.\u003cbr\u003e Even the same structural factors can have very different effects on the political path of a regime depending on which way the balance of power between the state and society tilts.\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Diversity of Europe\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Red Queen's teachings tend to increase social conflict.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, the capacity of institutions to resolve and deter disputes is particularly important. \u003cbr\u003eThis is because we must ensure that Donghak does not lead to instability but rather to competition that enhances the capabilities of the nation and society.\u003cbr\u003e But the courts at the time were unable to develop the capacity to deal with the numerous new disputes arising in Germany, and especially to accept the legitimacy of social cohesion on the left, which meant that there was no impartial arbitrator in these disputes.\u003cbr\u003e Partly as a result, conflicts have intensified and society has become more polarized.\u003cbr\u003e Parliament is divided and deadlocked, allowing extremist parties to gain strength and eliminating democratic compromise to manage the conflict.\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Zero-Sum Red Queen\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A crucial question is whether the state can build its capacity to meet society's needs while still remaining shackled. \u003cbr\u003eThis requires new ways to strengthen society's capacity to monitor and control the state and elites.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, to determine whether state intervention is beneficial, one must consider not only the economic trade-offs that arise from such intervention, but also its political implications.\u003cbr\u003e It is not just a question of the state's capacity, but also of who controls and monitors that capacity and how it is used.\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Leviathan Market\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e If Leviathan accepts market prices and income distribution as given and attempts to achieve its goals solely through redistribution through taxation, it could result in extremely high levels of tax burden and redistribution. \u003cbr\u003eEspecially from the perspective of controlling Leviathan, wouldn't it be better to achieve these goals by manipulating market prices without relying so heavily on redistribution through taxation? This is precisely what the Swedish welfare state has done.\u003cbr\u003e ---From \"Leviathan Market\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the economic sphere, the nature of the problem clearly necessitates expanding the state's responsibilities and capabilities in various aspects.\u003cbr\u003e Among the responsibilities of the state, especially in the United States, must be designing and operating a more generous and comprehensive social safety net to protect individuals who are left behind by major economic changes.\u003cbr\u003e Policies aimed at improving the social safety net must be complemented by other policies that create jobs, improve workers' income distribution, and help them find new jobs.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e ---From \"Avoiding the Zero-Sum

various social conflicts have surfaced in the process.\u003cbr\u003e The PC room industry, which had its operations suspended, protested vehemently, saying, \"Why are we the only ones being told to close while cafes and restaurants are allowed to do so?\", and some religious groups insisted on holding in-person meetings, sparking controversy.\u003cbr\u003e There is some logic to their criticism of those who are dissatisfied with the government's strong control during a national crisis.\u003cbr\u003e Moreover, it is not easy in a democratic society to unconditionally ignore someone's actions or opinions. \u003cbr\u003eUltimately, the coronavirus crisis boils down to the most fundamental problem of the political system: the conflict between “state power” and “civil liberty.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The problem is that the conflict between the state and society will only intensify in the future.\u003cbr\u003e Since the 9\/11 terrorist attacks, the international community, including the United States, has been putting more effort into the war on terrorism.\u003cbr\u003e As the economic downturn becomes chronic, the movement to protect the domestic economy is also growing.\u003cbr\u003e Technological advancements also raise questions about the very concept of state power.\u003cbr\u003e Today, all government is computerized, and countless people leave their personal information online.\u003cbr\u003e The fact that everything is connected means that if just one thing explodes, it can cause a chain reaction.\u003cbr\u003e As systems centered around massive computer networks become more widespread, the risk of a terrorist attack that could bring down the system increases.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eFrom internet terrorism and conflicts between interest groups to pandemics, wealth disparity, and economic recession, the power the state needs to address social problems is growing.\u003cbr\u003e Jared Diamond, Pulitzer Prize winner and author of the international bestseller Guns, Germs, and Steel, says in his recommendation for Narrow Corridors that “the greatest paradox in political history is that human society has continually developed toward centralization.”\u003cbr\u003e Daron Acemoglu and James A., authors of \"Narrow Corridors,\"\u003cbr\u003e Citing Thomas Hobbes, Robinson argues that to avoid a \"war of all against all,\" a \"Leviathan\" is needed, empowered by the people.\u003cbr\u003e The book's narrative begins with the dilemma faced by modern states: the power of the state must grow, and as a result, individual freedom must be restricted.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe Path from National Failure to Prosperity\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe authors argue that for a nation to prosper, the state and society must move into a \"narrow corridor.\"\u003cbr\u003e The 'narrow corridor' is a space where the state and society achieve a balance of power, and this can be easily understood through the graph presented by the authors.\u003cbr\u003e The reason this is a corridor rather than a door is because, in the process of the state and society checking each other, they can escape the corridor at any time and anywhere.\u003cbr\u003e Also, the reason this place is narrow is because it is difficult to achieve balance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e There are many factors that influence the balance between state and society.\u003cbr\u003e However, not all factors that are the same will produce the same results.\u003cbr\u003e Because each country's situation is different.\u003cbr\u003e Let's take a look at the Black Death, which had a great impact on European history.\u003cbr\u003e As population decline made labor scarce, society became more daring and serfs demanded a reduction in their duties. \u003cbr\u003eThe ability of the feudal elite to control society and collect taxes was diminished, and as a result, Western European societies were freed from the tyrannical control of the state.\u003cbr\u003e However, in the case of Eastern Europe, the power of society was weak because the grouping of peasants was limited.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e So, while England, France, and the Netherlands advanced along the 'narrow corridor', Eastern European countries, including Poland and Hungary, ended up strengthening their 'dictatorial states'.\u003cbr\u003e In 1933, the German Reichstag passed an Enabling Act that abolished the parliament and gave Hitler full power.\u003cbr\u003e The incomprehensible thing happened when a democratically elected legislature dissolved itself.\u003cbr\u003e This is an example of how terrible a \"zero-sum\" situation can be when a nation and society focus solely on destroying each other, and how \"narrow\" the corridors become.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe cultural and historical factors that a country has experienced are also important factors.\u003cbr\u003e India is both the world's largest democracy, a country with fierce political competition, and a country steeped in mystery, ruled by traditional caste norms.\u003cbr\u003e How should we understand India's deeply ingrained hierarchy and inequality, and their impact on the country's economy? What enabled China to develop a powerful, centralized state? The bureaucracy also plays a significant role.\u003cbr\u003e Argentina's bureaucracy is made up of \"ghost civil servants,\" colloquially known as \"gnocchi,\" who do not perform their official duties properly.\u003cbr\u003e Although Argentina has a modern system in appearance, its public institutions are not performing their functions properly.\u003cbr\u003e Is it because the state lacks the power to tolerate ghost civil servants? Or is there another reason?\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\"The Narrow Corridor\" explores a variety of cases across time and space, from the ostracism of ancient Athens, to the \"Legalist\" and \"Confucian\" ideologies of the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, which formed the foundation of modern Chinese politics, to the mercenary system of Switzerland, and today, to the United States, where specific companies like Google dominate information.\u003cbr\u003e Through this, we explore the factors that affect the balance of a nation and society and what is needed to achieve balance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe crossroads of big government and small government\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Freedom is the central theme of this book.\u003cbr\u003e The authors argue that for individuals to be free, the state and society must be in balance, and that when this balance is achieved, the state can prosper economically.\u003cbr\u003e This is where the main debate in economics and social science arises. \u003cbr\u003eTo what extent can the Leviathan known as the state intervene in the economy? What are the criteria for determining which activities warrant state intervention and which should be left to the market?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The key question is whether the state is still subject to social checks and balances as it develops its capacity to meet society's needs.\u003cbr\u003e This requires new ways to develop society's capacity to monitor and control the state.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, to determine whether state intervention is beneficial, one must not only look at the economic trade-offs that arise from the intervention, but also consider the resulting political impact.\u003cbr\u003e It is not just a question of the size of the state's capabilities, but also of who monitors and controls those capabilities and how that power is used.\u003cbr\u003e Because ultimately, a country's political system affects the quality and quantity of its economy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe authors discuss this issue through examples from the Tiv people in Africa, the outlook for the Chinese economy, and the US, where the fruits of economic growth have not been properly distributed.\u003cbr\u003e These discussions will provide insights into Korean society, which is currently experiencing significant debate regarding government intervention in the economy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e A New Political Theory for Economic Prosperity in the Age of Pandemic and AI In 1989, Francis Fukuyama predicted the \"end of history\" in which all countries would converge on the American political system.\u003cbr\u003e Five years later, Robert Kaplan said that our society was moving towards \"anarchy,\" referring to countries in Africa where governments were not functioning properly.\u003cbr\u003e And then, in 2018, Yuval Noah Harari predicted a “digital dictatorship” in which governments would monitor and control us, even policing how we think. \u003cbr\u003eLooking at China's increasingly strict control over its population, it seems our future is moving towards a digital dictatorship, as Yuval Harari said.\u003cbr\u003e Meanwhile, given the recent turmoil in the Middle East and Africa, a future of anarchy seems not so far away.\u003cbr\u003e However, the authors argue in \"The Narrow Corridor\" that neither is the future we face.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e History will flow toward 'diversity' rather than 'end', and the future will differ depending on a country's political system.\u003cbr\u003e And that system depends on the ability to check and balance each other.\u003cbr\u003e This book will offer many insights to Korean society, which is in need of new politics in the age of pandemics and AI.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \"]\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e -
