It's the same problem as "austerity" though. The plight of the North Korean people is only going to get worse by all accounts, and the longer they wait to deal with the inevitable, the worse it will be in the dealing. Not that i advocate war with North Korea to re-integrate it, but it's going to have to be done. |
The North Korean economy can't get much worse really, it's practically non-existant.
What's probably going to happen upon reintegration is a period of some years where North Korea won't be fully integrated (and the border won't be open) which will be used to build up the North's economy.
