Description
In this extensively updated and expanded edition of South Africa: Limits to Change, Hein Marais analyses why the ANC government has adopted, and firmly pursued, conservative economic policies, despite their poor performance. In doing so he draws on and develops the rich structural and political understandings of radical South African intellectuals.
In a penetrating assessment of the balance of forces, Marais examines the many, and often overlooked, ingredients of the ANC government's power, as well as the frailties and unexploited strengths of the country's popular movement. His book provides a benchmark critical analysis of South Africa's journey beyond apartheid.

Description
The unrealised expectations of the majority of South Africans are impacting upon the enormous ground swell of hope that was generated by this country's transition to democracy. In this extensively updated and expanded edition, Hein Marais provides an analysis of why the ANC government has adopted, and firmly pursued, conservative economic policies, despite their poor performance. In doing so, he draws on and develops the rich structural and political understandings of radical South African intellectuals. The book examines the reasons for poor economic performance and outlines an alternative economic path. In a penetrating analysis of the balance of forces, Marais examines the many, and often overlooked, ingredients of the ANC governments power, as well as the frailties and unexploited strengths of the countrys popular movement. By critically surveying the history of resistance, the strategies adopted by the apartheid state and its allies, and by casting new light on post-1994 developments, including the Truth and Reconciliation Commission experiment, this book provides a benchmark critical analysis of South Africas journey beyond apartheid.
