The subject title of Professor Fourie's talk is: “Our Long Walk to Economic Freedom”
Wow! I hear you say. What is that all about?
Well……. from the tax censuses of 18th century of Cape settler farmers (and Khoe communities), Johan Fourie will take us on a journey through South Africa's economic history into the present age of Artificial Intelligence.
What are the two lessons we can learn from economic history? Can we apply these lessons to South Africa today? Please join us to find out.
Johan Fourie is the Chair of Economics, History and Policy at Stellenbosch University and director of LEAP, the Laboratory for the Economics of Africa's Past. He is the author of Our Long Walk to Economic Freedom and Skatryk, a frequent columnist for News24 and Rapport, and blogger at www.ourlongwalk.com (please sign up for free before the talk)!
