À propos de ce contenu audio

The third episode of Digital Divide focuses on North Korea’s informal marketplaces, known as Jangmadang, and how they function as the backbone of everyday survival and commerce. Drawing on interviews with North Korean defectors, the episode shows how these markets emerged after the collapse of the public distribution system in the 1990s and now operate as a gray zone economy tolerated by the state. Grace and Prof. Kim will highlight the central role of cell phones in enabling trade, information sharing, smuggling, and logistics, as well as how corruption and COVID-19 have shaped daily life and business in one of the world’s most isolated countries.
