In this episode of The Small Print, Bronwyn speaks to professor Johan Fourie about his book “Our Long Walk to Economic Freedom.” They discuss the value of studying economic history, the progress of humankind, our youth’s pessimism about the future and why much of it is misplaced. They also talk about how social immobility — not inequality — is the main issue affecting South Africans, the dangers of the “degrowth” movement, and what policies South Africa could adopt to achieve greater economic freedom.
