Why is the economic gap between North Korea and South Korea so big?

It was not until the early 1990s, before the death of Kim Il Sung, that North Korea completed its independent modern and modern industries.

The level of system construction is only slightly lower than that of South Korea. In the 1970s, under the analysis and guidance of the industrial input-output table, the economy developed rapidly, greatly surpassing that of South Korea. However, after Kim Jong Il gradually came to power in 1989, especially after Kim Il Sung's sudden death, North Korea's policy suddenly became radical. It may be that Kim Jong Il has made some unexpected achievements. Unfortunately, after a large amount of industrial investment, the international situation has changed greatly, construction has stopped, and those who have just put into production have no money to buy raw materials.

What's more, under the influence of the Soviet Union, the development of light industry, especially agriculture, was despised, and food was even more exotic.

A bumper harvest will make you full, but there is a limit to consumption, and you can't save the surplus grain, so let it go.

Sell it and invest in industry. Good idea. Finally, with the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the collapse of socialist countries, industry

North Korea, which has just formed, can't hold on. Coupled with continuous natural disasters, agriculture was hit hard, and life-saving grain was sold in advance to buy machinery, which eventually led to a rapid decline from well-off to poverty and then to red in the early 1990 s

Dilute it, the level of Jin Er is really not so good ~ ~
