Recession, Recovery and Reform: South Africa after Covid-19

Edited by: Raymond Parsons. Edited by economist Raymond Parsons, this essay collection brings together thirteen prominent South African voices — including Thuli Madonsela, Bonang Mohale and Lumkile Mondi — to examine the country's path out of the Covid-19 crisis. Contributors tackle unemployment, fiscal sustainability, land reform, banking and the role of business in policymaking, arguing for a pragmatic "back to basics" approach over grand plans. The book frames the pandemic's aftermath as a chance to rebuild a more resilient, inclusive economy.
