Decline of the South African Economy - Stuart Jones

The contributors argue that the failure of manufacturing to maintain the country's economic growth, once the output of the gold mines began to decline, is central to an understanding of events and outcomes in the economy.

The Decline of the South African Economy will prove to be a fascinating read for students, teachers, researchers and academics with a special interest in modern economic development or in Africa and the Third World.
