Towards A New Deal: A Political Economy of the Times of My Life

By (author): Rob Davies. Former South African Minister of Trade and Industry Rob Davies reflects on 25 years of post-apartheid political and economic history, tracing the evolution of trade and economic policy through the ANC-SACP alliance from an insider's perspective, extending into the Ramaphosa presidency and the COVID-19 pandemic. He argues for economic transformation centred on job creation and poverty reduction, situating South Africa's choices within its continental role and challenges like climate change and technological disruption.
