In this memoir, Rob Davies, one of the government's most articulate former senior ministers, looks back on the politics, policies and inner workings of the South African government in the democratic era. He offers and insider's account of the evolution of trade and economic policy over the last 25 years, up to the presidency of Cyril Ramaphosa and the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Leavened with intriguing anecdotes and informed by the author's very personal and humanising history of activism and exile, Towards a New Deal makes the case for an economic policy transformation that is focused on creating jobs and reducing poverty, that highlights South Africa's role in Africa, and that addresses the challenges of economic stagnation, climate change and the fourth industrial revolution. It will be essential reading for economists, businesspeople and ordinary readers keen to grasp the political and economic dynamics of the moment."--Page 4 of cover. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 600 10 $a Davies, Robert H., $d 1948- 650 0 $a Politicians $z South Africa. 650 7 $a Politicians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069915 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 651 0 $a South Africa $x History. $x History. 651 7 $a South Africa. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204616 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117031553.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7B3DC6D88FC011ECBA4AA6A62FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
