반도체·자동차·조선·원전 혼자 다 만드는 한국, 하버드가 극찬한 진짜 이유

There are only a handful of countries on Earth that manufacture and sell semiconductors, automobiles, massive ships, and nuclear power plants entirely on their own. Sitting in the middle of that narrow list is a country whose per capita income was a mere $87 in 1962. It is no coincidence that the Czech Republic entrusted Korea with the 26 trillion won Dukovany nuclear power plant project in 2025. The Economic Complexity Index (ECI) developed by the Harvard Kennedy School's Growth Lab measures not the amount of money a country earns, but how diverse and rare the goods it can produce are. On this report card, Korea ranked among the world's top tier alongside Japan, Switzerland, Taiwan, and Singapore, while the United States and China failed to make the top 10. We examine how capabilities accumulated piece by piece—from the shipyards on the sandy beaches of Ulsan, the Tokyo Declaration, 64K DRAM, and the Pony, to Kori Unit 1 and the UAE desert nuclear power plant—have come together as a whole. In this video, using Professor Hausman's alphabet game, we reveal where the true assets of Korea's manufacturing industry are stored. ** Don't miss the context beyond the headlines. We hope you organize the flow with Representative Lee's Economics. ───────────────── 📌 Timeline 00:00 26 Trillion Won Nuclear Power Plants Entrusted to an $87 Nation 00:44 Harvard's Report Card and the Alphabet Game 04:51 The Starting Point of the Top Tier That Even the US and China Couldn't Join 06:41 A Single Photo of a Sandy Beach and a 500 Won Bill 09:52 The Tokyo Declaration, the 64km March, and the Pony 12:58 From Kori, a Subcontractor, to the UAE Desert 16:54 Dukovany, Czech Republic: The Full Story of the 26 Trillion Won Contract 20:41 The Final Puzzle Not in Textbooks ───────────────── 🔔 Subscribe and turn on notifications to stay informed about economic trends.
