South Africans have been poorly served by the economic choices their governments have made. The consequences of these choices are everywhere to be seen but most importantly in unemployment and poverty.

In Get South Africa Growing, Brian Kantor – one of South Africa’s pre-eminent economists – advances spirited economic arguments for freer markets and less government intervention and regulation of the South African economy; the book will add significantly to a layman’s understanding of how our economy works.

This book is a masterclass of economic erudition and a crucial contribution to solving South Africa’s plight.

Brian Kantor remains my favourite economist, and here clearly articulates his positive approach to South Africa’s challenges and opportunities.

– Christo Wiese, Entrepreneur extraordinaire

 

Brian’s book is published at a difficult time for free market thinkers in South Africa. The book provides a great alternative to the current thinking being bandied around by Left wing economists and politicians. There are many examples in recent history of how the policies that Brian proposes have significantly transformed societies through greater economic freedom which lead to rapid economic growth lifting millions of people out of poverty. Politicians, business leaders, teachers, students of economics and economic commentators are encouraged read Brian’s book to assist them in providing a better economic path for all South Africans.

Brian Kantor has spent decades challenging, and being open to challenge on, conventional thinking in the academic, social, economic and political public arena. He has an acute ability to ask appropriate questions on complex issues, while sharing the depth of his deep learning. Brian is not only thought provoking but also stimulates open discussion and provides prescient insights. I do not believe I have gained a real understanding on any development in the world economy, and most certainly not in South Africa, before I have heard what Brian has to say. His questions make me think again, and again. His answers always give me new perspectives.

– Ian Kantor, former Chief Executive and founder of Investec Bank Limited
