Dear colleagues,
The third issue of Wits University’s new research magazine, #Curiosity, themed: Capital. Who owns you?, is available now.
With 10 days to go before the start of the 54th ANC National Conference in Johannesburg, this issue of #Curiosity interrogates capital within the context of political economy, monopoly capital, corruption, and the rapid disruption of the status quo and the world as we know it.
In this issue #Curiosity explores stories such as:
- How South Africa was stolen
- How to bring crooks to book
- How the ANC got its economic spots
It also looks at radical economic transformation with a special face-off between Wits economists Lumkile Mondi and Chris Malikane from the Wits School of Economic and Business Sciences in:
- The Zumafication of economic transformation vs Decolonise the economy
Our featured researchers include:
- Professor Dorrit Posel, Helen Suzman Chair in Political Economics
- Professor Vishnu Padayachee, Derek Schrier and Cecily Cameron Chari in Development Economics
- Associate Professor Chris Malikane, economist
- Lumkile Mondi, economist
- Associate Professor Tawana Kupe, Vice-Principal
- Nhanhla Nene, interim Director of the Wits Business School
- Professor Garth Stevens, Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Humanities
- And many more
