Poverty, Politics and Policy In South Africa: Why has poverty persisted after apartheid?

R265.00

This new book by Jeremy Seekings and Nicoli Nattrass explains why poverty has persisted in South Africa since 1994. In it the authors demonstrate who has and who has not remained poor, how public policies both mitigated and reproduced poverty, and how and why these policies were adopted. Their analysis of the South African welfare state, labour market policies and the growth path of the South African economy challenges conventional accounts that focus only on ‘neoliberalism’. They argue, instead, that the ANC government’s policies have been, in important respects, social democratic. They show how social- democratic policies both mitigate and reproduce poverty in countries like South Africa, reflecting the contradictory nature of social democracy in the global South.
