Title: | Government failure and state incapacity: The South African public sector in the 1990s | Contributor(s): | Dollery, Brian Edward (author); Snowball, J (author) | Publication Date: | 2003 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/4512 | Abstract: | In their editorial introduction to the 1994 'Special Issue' of the 'South African Journal of Economic History' devoted to a sectoral analysis of the South African economy during the 1980s, Stuart Jones and Jon Inggs described this period as a "lost decade", with per capita incomes even lower in 1990 than they had been in 1980.¹ Moreover, "no other Western country experienced a comparable decline in the 1980s and South Africa herself had never experienced anything like it since the formation of Union in 1910".² Thus, from the perspective of economic growth, the decade of the nineties could not have had a less auspicious beginning. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | South African Journal of Economic History, 18(1&2), p. 310-331 | Publisher: | Economic History Society of South Africa | Place of Publication: | South Africa | ISSN: | 1011-3436 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 140218 Urban and Regional Economics | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 910299 Microeconomics not elsewhere classified | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal | Publisher/associated links: | http://home.intekom.com/joni/2ND-DEC.HTM#Vol18(1&2) |
