Beyond a treasury view of the world

Professor Vishnu Padayachee from the School of Economic and Business Sciences will present this seminar

This seminar, hosted by the Southern Centre for Inequality Studies at Wits is based on a paper which aims to set out some key alternative macroeconomic policy ideas for further debate and research in the context of the multi-disciplinary approach of the Wits Inequality Project. Padayachee will ask what kind of macroeconomic policy interventions will be essential for growth and employment generation and to a successful struggle against rising income and wealth inequality in South Africa, and elsewhere. His assertion is that unless we have a supportive macroeconomic framework, many other economic and social policy interventions for addressing growth and inequality will likely fail to gain much traction or purchase for budgetary and related reasons.
