When the foundation of a state collapses, what institutional innovations must we dream of?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Reading this great blueprint, to which a scholar buried in obscurity devoted his whole life in order to overhaul the nation's land, education, and bureaucratic systems from the ground up, I felt a strange thrill. Yu Hyeong-won's gaze does not rest on abstract morality but turns toward the very bones of reality. From the tip of his pen, crying out for the rebuilding of an entire system to truly relieve the lives of the people, comes the loneliness and burning passion of a reformer ahead of his time.
"Unless the institutions of the world are established, the lives of the people can never be at peace."Yu Hyeong-won, Banjye Sureok
"천하의 제도가 확립되지 않으면 백성의 삶은 결코 평안할 수 없다."
