BEE - Helping or Hurting?

Does black economic empowerment work - or has its unintended consequences been to undermine our country's growth? This is the daring question Anthea Jeffery tackles head-on in her new book. How rapidly would the black middle class have grown without BEE? Since BEE is unlikely ever to provide redress to the truly disadvantaged, what is its real objective? Jeffery addresses challenging policy questions about the 'pros and cons' of BEE that most commentators avoid.
