During the 1990s, North Korea suffered one of the worst famines of the 20th century. The result was not only a humanitarian catastrophe: the large-scale suffering also ignited economic and social changes that are still shaping the country today. This is one conclusion of “North Korea Confidential” by Daniel Tudor and James Pearson, and the topic of this episode.
