Korea's Nano Future

摘要

It's hard to remember now, but the Republic of Korea was once a largely agricultural nation. In the 1960s, about a decade after the ravages of the Korean War, the per capita income in Korea was just $79 a year. The Korean economy was one of the meekest in Asia and not at all a force in the world.rnThat has all changed, of course. Korea has witnessed unprecedented economic growth over the past four decades. The country has transformed itself from agricultural to industrial and now to an information society. The economy is now the world's 12th largest with an annual per capita income of $18,400. And the words "made in Korea" are recognized as a mark of excellence around the world. So much has changed in so little time.
