Nadšení, jaké provázelo demokratizační proces v Jihoafrické republice, bylo zmírněno přetrváváním a zvětšováním se ekonomických nerovností. Situace se zhoršuje kvůli extrémní chudobě černošské populace, ustoupení od veřejného vlastnictví, které je ukotveno v Listině Svobody, ochraně soukromého kapitálu, ale také kvůli překážkám, které obchodní zájmy a byrokracie kladou na cestu progresivní ekonomické politice. Tato kniha představuje čtenáři výsledky a důsledky širokého výzkumu dějin a současné dynamiky ekonomiky Jihoafrické republiky, od konce druhé světové války až doposud.

The acclaim with which democratization in South Africa has been greeted has been tempered by the recognition that there are at the same time continuing and even deepening economic inequalities. This is more disturbing given the extreme economic disparity experienced by much of the black population, the retreat from commitments to public ownership enshrined in the Freedom Charter, the unambiguous safeguarding of private capital, and the obstacles placed in the way of progressive economic policies by business interests and the entrenched apartheid-era bureaucracy. This book presents the results and implications of detailed and wide-ranging research on both the history and current dynamics of the South African economy, from the Second World War to the present.
