To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the end of apartheid, a group of top South African and international economists have edited, The Oxford Companion to the Economics of South Africa, featuring 50 entries by 50 leading economists working on South Africa.
This highly-anticipated volume provides a unique perspective on the last two decades, and on the challenges faced by South Africa as it moves to translate political freedom into economic prosperity and inclusion.
The Oxford Companion to the Economics of South Africa was designed with a view to contributing to the policy and analytical debate in South Africa by pulling together perspectives on a range of issues—micro, macro, sectoral, countrywide and global—from leading economists working on South Africa.
