South Africa: The New Revolution – Don Caldwell

Description

South Africa: The New Revolution presents a bold vision for the country’s future—one where South Africans could become the freest and richest people on earth in just a generation. Don Caldwell argues that with the right economic policies, South Africans could experience a rapid transformation, unlocking unprecedented prosperity and opportunity.

Imagine a child born today in Soweto’s Baragwanath Hospital. By the time that child graduates from medical school, Caldwell suggests that every South African could be earning more than today’s average American or Swiss citizen. He envisions a future where tomorrow’s township doctors treat the world’s wealthiest patients, not because of charity or foreign aid, but because of the power of economic freedom.

At the heart of this argument lies a stark contrast: many white voters of the time, fearful of the so-called “swart gevaar” (black danger), misunderstood the difference between surrender and true economic liberation. Their resistance to change not only delayed progress but also led to a decline in their own living standards. Caldwell challenges these fears and presents a case for a future built on free-market principles, where opportunity is open to all, and wealth is created through enterprise rather than political control.

Provocative and thought-provoking, South Africa: The New Revolution is not just a political analysis but a call to action—one that envisions a future where economic freedom can reshape a nation and lift millions into prosperity.
