Well the nation of South Korea gains better nutrition because of their free market economy. The average North Korean is two inches shorter than the average South Korean due to deficiencies in rations available to the socialist North Koreans. Also, they have been able to have personal wealth due to the success of their auto companies, Samsung, and other industries. They are slowly turning into a service economy meaning less manufacturing jobs and more highly skilled white collar jobs. It also promotes their political system because people are generally happy with their economy.
