...excess of our commercial world. And yet these truisms are not entirely irrelevant. In the 1930s the economist John Maynard Keynes told us that the “ecosnomic problem” is not the permanent problem of the human race.

"Korean society does not like strong women, and thinks single moms have a personality disorder," says Park Soo Na, a national entertainment columnist. "It's like a scarlet letter." She says single mothers often ask their parents to raise their grandchildren so the kids don't have to endure the shame of living without a father figure. And for women without a movie star's bankroll, there's limited public financial support available, forcing some women to place their children in orphanages for long stretches or even put them...
