e-Lounge Session - The Economy on your doorstep by Ayabonga Cawe 29 August 2022
Ayabonga Cawe is a development economist, columnist, broadcaster, activist and author. His book, The Economy on Your Doorstep, probes the reasons for the tragic paradox of South African life. Ayabonga tries to go through and beyond what is wrong with our economy, and explains how economic ‘actions’ frame the lives of South Africans in a transitional society faced with the challenges of unemployment, poverty and inequality.
The book outlines some key areas that can and should define a policy agenda towards a ‘people’s economy’ in South Africa. Ayabonga’s experience as a seasoned broadcaster on radio platforms such as Power FM and Metro FM, and as a regular columnist for Business Day makes for an interesting engagement for this e-Lounge.
