Bronwyn Williams & TK Pooe | The Small Print
In this episode, Bronwyn speaks to fellow Discourse ZA host TK Pooe about South Africa’s failure to become a middle-income country in spite of — or possibly because of — South Africa’s globally-lauded constitution. They discuss what it would take for South Africa to become a developmental state, the relationship — or lack thereof — between economic growth and Western values, the dangers of having too many citizens dependent on the state, the possibility of South Africa becoming a regional hegemon, and the need for South Africa citizens getting their hands dirty at politics.
Bronwyn Williams is a futurist, economist, trend analyst and host of The Small Print. Her day job as a partner at Flux Trends involves helping business leaders to use foresight to design the future they want to live and work in. You may have seen her talking about Transhumanism or Tikok on Carte Blanche, or heard her talking about trends on 702 or CNBC Africa where she is a regular expert commentator. When she's not talking to brands and businesses about the future, you will probably find her curled up somewhere with a (preferably paperback) book. She tweets at @bronwynwilliams.
