Book extract | Recession, recovery and reform: South Africa after Covid-19 – Contribution by Temba A Nolutshungu

South Africa’s socio-economic problems and their broader detrimental consequences may seem insurmountable, but they are not. The situation can be turned around.

Simply implementing policy reforms that enhance individual liberty and respect the supremacy of the private sector in creating wealth and generating employment would be like waving a magic wand.

All government has to do is remove their varied ideological blinkers when enacting policy.

They need to focus instead on empirical evidence that irrefutably explains the glaring discrepancies between high-growth, prosperous economies and poor economies characterised by low growth and economic decline.
