Zumanomics - Challenges For A New Government (Paperback)

What does a Zuma Presidency hold in store for South Africa’s economy and business prospects? What kind of policies will – and should – a Zuma government follow? How far to the ‘left’ will a Zuma government swing? How will business and investors respond to future economic policies?

Zumanomics comes to grips with central elements of the socio-economic agenda which the country should be contemplating in 2009 and beyond.

A range of 11 essays by top economic and political analysts outlines the economic and social realities that will confront a new government and offers 70 key findings and recommendations as to how they can best be managed.

Controversial issues addressed include:

• interest rate policy
• job creation
• labour market questions
• the role of the State
• as well as implications of the breakaway COPE party for South Africa’s political future

Edited by prominent economist Raymond Parsons, the book is of consequences for laypersons, business people, economists, trade unionists, bureaucrats and politicians. The wide-ranging but focused analysis presented here will provide valuable insights into the economic and political roadmap that South Africa needs in the years ahead if shared prosperity is to be achieved on a much bigger scale.
