Launch of Better Choices: Ensuring South Africa’s Future
11 May 2022
The Brenthurst Foundation is proud to announce the launch of their new book ‘Better Choices: Ensuring South Africa’s Future’. Edited by Dr Greg Mills, Mcebisi Jonas, Prof Haroon Bhorat and Ray Hartley, the book is comprised of essays by leading thinkers on the political economy.
It provides an unflinching account of the myriad challenges South Africa faces. The picture that emerges is of a nation on the brink of a catastrophic slide into failure unless better, if tough, policy choices are made.
Rather than rake over the coals by outlining what is wrong, the book seeks to provide answers – the ‘better choices’ that are tantalisingly close at hand.
In addition to the editors, authors include: Ivan Pillay, Sri Kesavan, Yolisa Pikie, Gareth Newham, Ben Stanwix, Andrew Murray, David Francis, Imraan Valodia, Liberty Mncube, Dennis Davis, Andrew Donaldson, Michael Sachs, Alan Hirsch, Derek Thomas, Wandile Sihlobo, Gracelin Baskaran, Anthony Black, Kate Rivett-Carnac, Annabel Bishop and Tim Harris.
The book will be launched Cape Town, Johannesburg and Buffalo City.
Here are the launch details:
CAPE TOWN - 12th May
