This title looks at the present structure of the South African
economy and asks what needs to be done to meet the challenges of
deep poverty, high unemployment and growing inequality that still
mark the country after fifteen years of democracy. The contributors
consider the role that a developmental state could play in
effecting change. South Africa is a resource-rich country -
according to Citicorp, the richest in the world. But the country
and its people do not benefit proportionally from the use of these
resources, and the reason for this lies in the realm of public
decision-making. We are, moreover, far too risk-averse and engaged
in bean-counting rather than in promoting a new expansionary vision
for the economy and our people.
