Abstract:
|
The South African economy is characterized by extreme income disparity along
racial lines. Many blacks are unemployed and poor, while most whites are better
off. This uneven distribution of wealth is the direct result of the apartheid
system that was followed by the government between 1948 and 1994. The case
chronicles the state of the South African economy from the 1950s, when many
apartheid laws were passed, till the mid-2000s, when the economy was showing
good growth. It discusses some of the policy initiatives taken by the ANC
government after coming to power in 1994 and the implications of these policies
for the South African economy.
|
|
It also discusses the criticisms against the
government's policies. The case ends with a discussion on the
future prospects of the South African economy.
