While many commentators attribute East Asia's economic success to the achievements of its educational systems, this book asks: in South Korea, where competition in education is exceptionally intense, how does access to schooling actually connect with the formation of social stratification? Is the critique of social reproduction justified? An English translation of a celebrated work in comparative sociology that won numerous academic awards after its original Japanese publication by the University of Tokyo Press in 2006.
