N Korea has been sending leaflets to S Korea, well back when N Korea really was the better Korea (in terms of economy).
Up until around 1970's N Korea had better economy than S Korea. Shocking, I know.
- scotty79 13y agoI think that regimes (communist ones) were pretty decent economically and technologically, even better than other countries at the same time because they heavily invested in large scale infrastructure and basic education. They introduced electricity and literacy to their rural populations very successfully. But since they were regimes they had technological embargo placed on them so they couldn't use international exchange to acquire new technologies and they fell behind technologically and as a result economically and finally crumbled.
- dba7dba 13y agoSorry but wrong. N Korea was better off economically in 1950 -70s, mainly because of the infrastructure Japan had set up with the goal of using that region as a staging ground for invading Manchuria/China. S Korea has better infra and education than N Korea.
