The regime has held public lectures about the new system, which centred on easing tight controls over output and letting each production unit become self-supporting. Factories or companies would be given greater autonomy in management and set prices of products by themselves.” [Hey Americans: if North Korea can do it, maybe we can deregulate lemonade stands and milk too?]
