State of the nation : South Africa, 2012-2013 : addressing inequality and poverty
The sixth edition in the internationally acclaimed State of the Nation series from HSRC Press is devoted to the theme of inequality and its link to poverty. Resonating with a wealth of research grounded in the contemporary South African landscape, leading scholars analyse and reflect on an emerging picture that shows the need to accelerate the pace of poverty eradication - and to change the developmental trajectory of South Africa. Inequality and poverty are viewed through the lenses of politics, economics, society, health and the global context. Each of these sections offers illuminating, significant critiques and analyses - and includes topics of national importance such as the National Development Plan; National Health Insurance; employment; HIV and AIDS; media freedom; China and the Chinese in South Africa; the international economic crisis. The State of the Nation series is characterised by critical reflections on contemporary issues, penetrating analyses and wide-ranging data. Across the world, scholars, academics, policymakers and general readers look to these editions as influential frames of reference for South African current affairs and the pathways forward
