New York University economist Nouriel Roubini delivers a speech at the Seoul Digital Forum 2009 in Seoul, South Korea, Wednesday, May 27, 2009. Impoverished North Korea can liberalize its economy while maintaining its political system if it follows the path taken by China and Vietnam, prominent economist Roubini said Wednesday. "I think the lesson is that progressive economic opening and liberalization even in a formerly centrally controlled economy can lead to beneficial changes," Roubini told reporters on the sidelines of the technology forum.
