 Time to rethink BEE?
Trick or Treat: Rethinking Black Economic Empowerment is a book that throws into sharp relief what has always been the most tantalising and controversial aspect of BEE policy - notably, black corporate ownership, the asset trading or deal-making arm of BEE that was started as an antidote to apartheid and insurance for future business.
Jenny Cargill offers a unique experiential and analytical journey into the 16-year history of BEE. It is current and critical, challenging the reader to think differently about empowerment and how black South Africans may meaningfully participate in the economy.
Trick or Treat speaks to everyone interested in or affected by black empowerment, from economists to policy-makers to the person in the street, including we understand someone from the Kalk Bay fishing community. It makes an extensive amount of information and analysis easily accessible.
Jenny Cargill is a writer, a protagonist in an award winning film on the ANC's underground, the founder of a think tank, as well as a specialist in transformational investment and black economic empowerment. On returning to South Africa from exile, she established an initiative to monitor South Africa's economic transition, publishing unique research into changing investment trends and promoting dialogue between the new political leadership and the business establishment. She then became an advisor in the deals that result in black share ownership in the country's major corporations. |
