In 2006 the South African Social Attitudes Survey probed what goods and services on a long list were ‘essential for everyone to have in order to enjoy an acceptable standard of living in South Africa today’. The highest score in the survey was recorded for electricity in the house (92 percent). Almost as many people identified a fridge as a necessity. Most South Africans – including, it seems, most South Africans of all racial groups and incomes – broadly concur in defining poverty in terms that you would expect to find in societies that are much wealthier than South Africa (Wright, 2008).
This chapter examines how and why South Africa remained ‘path dependent’, and what this meant for the politics of ‘choice’ under democracy. We also consider the discourse of ‘neoliberalism’ and how it is used, by critics of inequality, to crowd out serious analysis of social democratic alternatives. Finally, we reconsider what ‘social democracy’ means in a context such as South Africa, where the institutions and policies associated with social democracy in the global North do not result in uniformly pro-poor outcomes.
The new black business elite was heavily dependent on state patronage through its Black Economic Empowerment policies, and therefore had very mixed views about the respective roles of markets and the state. Relations between state, capital and labour remained deeply racialized. Chapter 10 turns to social movements and popular protest. It argues that the power (and potential) of social movements has been exaggerated by many sympathetic intellectuals, who gloss over important differences between the militancy of the struggle against apartheid in the 1980s and post-apartheid social movements.
