The dimensions of this crisis include an energy collapse; a failing rail network; weak education outcomes; an interrupted water supply; and the effects of decades of endemic corruption that have brought much of government to a halt. But the country also has incredible assets: a wealth of sought-after minerals; an enviable Constitution that protects rights and advocates social inclusion; an advanced financial and services sector; thriving agricultural and auto industries that compete with the best in the world; a prosecution service that is rapidly rebuilding; and, most of all, strong-willed people determined to make life better through hard work, entrepreneurship and hustling. The choice is stark: we either build on the positives and take the country forward or we will be overwhelmed by the negatives and end up as another Zimbabwe or Venezuela. We have the people, the policies and the resources. What is missing is the political will to make the difficult choices that will save South Africa from disaster."-- $c Back cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 0 $a Introduction -- Five rules of the game -- The big unanswered questions --The fraught global context -- Scenarios for South Africa -- The good: grasping the reform nettle -- The bad: the Venezuela option -- The ugly: the slide speeds up -- A fistful of cents: the Brazilian model -- Conclusion: escaping to a better South Africa. 648 7 $a Since 1994 $2 fast 650 0 $a Political corruption $z South Africa. 650 7 $a Economic history $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Political corruption $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069240 650 7 $a Politics and government $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 0 $a South Africa $x Politics and government $y 1994- 651 0 $a South Africa $x Economic conditions. 651 7 $a South Africa $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 700 1 $a Mills, Greg, $d 1962- $e author. 700 1 $a Soko, Mills, $e author. 700 1 $a Madonsela, Thuli, $e writer of foreword. 700 1 $a Meyer, R.
