DETAILS
Recession, inflation, interest rates, income tax, exchange rates: one is bombarded with these terms every day by newspapers, the radio, TV and the internet, but what do they actually mean? And how do they impact on ordinary people?
In this thoroughly updated edition of Everyone's Guide to the South African Economy, all these issues and more are addressed. The book clearly explains and evaluates a wide range of economic occurrences from the budget and the rand/dollar exchange rate to the role of the South African Reserve Bank and the balance of payments.
This landmark tenth edition investigates the causes and consequences of the 2008/2009 global financial and economic crisis, looks in more detail at the sub-Saharan African economy, and explores human development issues in South Africa and their implications for policy-making.
