이수광의 조선중기 사회‧경제적 폐단 인식과 개혁 방안

Abstract

This paper examines the social and economic perceptions and reform plans of Jibong Lee Soo-kwang (1563-1629) for the stability of wealthy countries and people's livelihoods in a chaotic domestic situation. Firstly, Jibong wants to improve the social system for the stability of the people's livelihood. The Jibong aims to realize the stability of the people's livelihood by improving the system that does not fit the reality to the reality. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for smart human resources with moral literacy to realize this in order to establish the system. Secondly, we present the people's livelihood policy through agriculture and industrial promotion. Jibong tries to solve agriculture problems through Gyunjeon(均田), and pursue the development of legitimate profits and the practical benefits of wealth through industrial promotion. But his argument was not immediately implemented in real politics, and he recognizes this problem as a problem of the lack of practice of politicians. In summary, for the sake of real politics, Jibong calls for the improvement of the system in line with the times based on the realistic interest in the king's people's livelihood. And it is believed that the realization of the improved system is manifested through the recruitment of talented people with both ability and moral knowledge. In other words, it was considered that the core task of socio-economic disruption and reform measurese was to recruit wise talent.
