The author employs a Bordieuan analysis to illustrate how the ordinary middle class struggles to differentiate itself from the affluent segment, often leading to heightened anxiety related to economic and social capital. The text discusses the polarization within the middle class, emphasizing the widening gap between the upper 10 percent and the remaining 90 percent, as well as the implications of this division on consumption behaviors and class politics. The book is positioned as a significant resource for understanding contemporary Korean society and invites further comparative research on middle-class dynamics globally. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Korean Studies is the property of University of Hawai'i and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
