The economy is failing to grow and more and more young people find themselves on the outside looking in as education falters and jobs disappear. Energy and transport are in crisis. Governance is floundering as debt mounts and government runs out of money. Better Choices is a collection by South Africa's top thinkers on the political economy, providing an unflinching account of the myriad challenges the country faces. The picture that emerges is of a nation on the brink of a catastrophic slide into failure unless better, if tough, policy choices are made. As stark as these problems are, their solutions are tantalisingly close at hand. The chapters in this book outline exactly the solutions - those 'better choices'- that need to be made by leadership to alter the country's bleak trajectory. South Africa cannot talk its way out of trouble. Key to success is removing the sources of friction - the red tape, over-regulation and rents - that slow down investment. This is only possible if a more effective, focused government acts decisively"-- $c Back cover. 505 00 $g Introduction: better choices for South Africa / $r Annabel Bishop -- $t Tim Harris. $r Ivan Pillay, Sri Kesavan and Yolisa Pikie -- $t Crime and justice system / $r Gareth Newham -- $t Policy choices for the labour market / $r Haroon Bhorat and Ben Stanwix -- $t Service delivery at Sub-National level / $r Andrew Murray -- $t The informal economy and informal employment in South Africa / $r David Francis and Imraan Valodia -- $t The politics of the political economy / $r Mcebisi Jonas -- $t Competition policy and excessive market power: the other path / $r Liberty Ncube -- $t Fixing SARS: an institution dismantled by state capture / $r Dennis Davis -- $t Social insurance: building better institutions / $r Andrew Donaldson -- $t The origins of the fiscal crisis / $r Michael Sach -- $t The role of SOE in development in South Africa / $r Alan Hirsch -- $t Eskom and the great power puzzle / $r Ray Hartley -- $t Transnet on the line / $r Derek Thomas -- $t Agriculture in South Africa: policy reforms to stimulate growth / $r Wandile Sihloboo and Gracelin Baskaran -- $t Creating employment: can labour -intensive manufacturing work? / $r Anthony Black -- $t Getting tourism flying / $r Kate Rivett-Carnac -- $t The financial services sector and its support to the economy / $r Annabel Bishop -- $t Tech and business outsourcing / $t Tim Harris. 650 0 $a Economic development $z South Africa. 650 7 $a Economic development. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901785 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 0 $a South Africa $x Politics and government. 651 0 $a South Africa $x Economic conditions. 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 700 1 $a Mills, Greg. $e editor. 700 1 $a Jonas, Mcebisi, $e editor. 700 1 $a Bhorat, Haroon, $e editor. 700 1 $a Hartley, Ray, $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117021720.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=ABB0210238A911ED914067003BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
