Description
The Logic of Compressed Modernity by Chang Kyung-Sup explores how societies in Asia and other parts of the world have rapidly modernized, often in a compressed fashion. This phenomenon displays distinct traits that differ from those observed in Western societies. Chang Kyung-Sup examines the extreme social changes and complexities found in South Korea and other East Asian societies, which enabled rapid economic growth but also created significant developmental and civilizational costs. These include generational conflicts, overloaded family responsibilities, and exceptionally high suicide rates. This book provides a systematic account of compressed modernity and its consequences, making it an important contribution to the fields of sociology, politics, and development studies. It will be of interest to scholars and anyone studying South Korea, Asia, or postcolonial societies.
