Page ix Preface This book is dedicated to the memory of Kim Jae-Ik, a gifted economist and outstanding Korean policymaker who died at the age of forty-five in the Rangoon bombing incident of October 1983. In this tragic incident, seventeen of Korea's most able and talented policymakers lost their lives. Kim Jae-Ik had a character and personality that left indelible impressions on all those who knew him. Some of us who had the privilege of knowing him decided to dedicate to his memory a book dealing with the subject to which he had devoted his most productive years, namely, economic development through liberalization. All the authors in this volume knew Kim Jae-Ik personally and responded enthusiastically when asked to contribute. The truly outstanding quality of their work is a testimony to the deep admiration and affection they had for Kim Jae-Ik. The editors would like to thank the individual scholars for their excellent contributions. They would also like to thank the Brookings Institution for allowing one of the editors to spend time there while working on this volume. Furthermore, their special thanks go to Elizabeth Phillips for her most able assistance throughout the project and to Richard Rice, who did a wonderful job typing the manuscript. LAWRENCE B. KRAUSE KIM KIHWAN

Page xi Kim Jae-Ik: His Life and Contributions Kim Kihwan Until his tragic death in Burma in 1983, Kim Jae-Ik was one of Korea's most gifted economists and a highly influential policymaker. Few were as dedicated to the cause of economic growth and development, and fewer still had as great an impact on Korea's economic policymaking. He played a key role in steering the Korean economy out of crisis in the early 1980s and was one of the chief architects of the liberal economic reforms launched in Korea. The youngest of nine children, Kim Jae-Ik was born on November 26, 1938, into a family that owned substantial tracts of land in South Chungchong Province. He finished primary school in Seoul and went on to Kyonggi Middle School. During the Korean War his family's fortunes were reversed, and as a consequence the family suffered hardship and deprivation. Not only was his father killed, but three of his older brothersone a young instructor at Seoul National University and the other two university studentsdisappeared during the war. presumably taken by North Korean troops. The destruction of his family relationship had a determining impact on his life. Responsible for his mother's welfare, Kim Jae-Ik took various part-time jobs to support his mother and put himself through school.
