ZUMANOMICS REVISITED: THE ROAD FROM MANGAUNG TO 2030 IN SOUTH AFRICA

Zumanomics Revisited: The Road from Mangaung to 2030 In the light of global and domestic developments since 2009, Raymond Parsons now reassesses the economic prospects for SA post-Mangaung and following the 2014 general election.  While the 2009 publication was a collective effort with other contributors, this is an individual one. Many red lights are flashing for the economy and SA is struggling to avoid a low-growth trap.  What are the conditions for the success of the National Development Plans vision for 2030 and can it be translated into reality?  What will happen after the 2014 election?    Drawing on his considerable experience and analysis of SAs political economy, Professor Parsons redefines and updates  Zumanomics  in the light of these developments.  Will South Africa be able to move successfully to address the triple challenges of unemployment, poverty and inequality identified by President Zuma as the three greatest issues needing South Africas attention? How can the country improve its global competitiveness? How can SA best build on its strengths and address its weaknesses?
