Confucius blocks change in South Korea | The Japan Times
Confucius blocks change in South Korea | The Japan Times: At the 'chaebol,' Confucian reverence for the 'emperor' translates into obedience to company founders and their families, who are treated like royalty.
There can never be political change without cultural change.There cannot be policy change without culture leading that change. In fact Korean Core culture has to change first. And the values in the S.Korea that are circulated are values that are assumptions around Confucian collectivism , around patriarchy. The Fragility of Traditional Values In his dialogues with the Devil, it's like we're on a losing path.

If SocGen is right in its just released oil price forecast in a “ Syrian war world” , then the global economy is about to undergo an apoplectic shock the likes of which have not been seen since the summer of 2008, when Lehman brothers had to be taken under to generate the deflationary shock sending crude from $130 to $30 in the matter of days. The French bank's forecast in a nutshell: “ Base case scenario: $125 for Brent. We believe that in the coming days, Brent could gain another $5-10, surging to $120-$125, either in anticipation of the attack or in reaction to the headlines that an attack had started. Upside scenario: $150 for Brent If the regional spill over results in a significant supply disruption in Iraq or elsewhere (from 0.5 – 2.0 Mb/d), Brent could spike briefly to $150. ” And if indeed 2008 is coming back with a vengeance, the next question is who will be this year's unlucky Lehman Brothers?
