Congressman Troy Nehls introduced the “Asylum for Afrikaners Act,” offering refugee status to white, Afrikaans-speaking South Africans, citing racial persecution and land expropriation threats—claims backed by Donald Trump. Critics say it fuels racial bias and fear. Professor Johan Fourie argues the U.S. is motivated less by ideology and more by a desire for skilled South African labour.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

They discuss the progress humanity has made over the last few centuries, what the field of economics can do better, the mismatch between data and peprception, why GDP remains a useful measure of growth, the role of language in driving various industries, the perils of the degrowth fad, and what economic lessons humanity refuses to learn.

Ons gesels met Wes van der Westhuizen en Johan Fourie , kenners op die gebied van Forensiese ondersoeke en motor ongelukke.

Elles sont surnommées les « maisons RDP », du nom du programme phare de l'ANC lors des élections de 1994, le « Programme de reconstruction et de développement » : un plan visant à offrir des logements salubres aux populations maintenues dans la pauvreté sous l'apartheid, et à favoriser l'accès à la propriété. Il s'agit d'un des programmes de l'ANC les plus visibles, avec ces maisons bien reconnaissables, qui ont bourgeonné à l'extérieur des villes. Trente ans plus tard, cette politique de logement social quasi unique au monde a permis d'offrir un toit à des millions de Sud-Africains, mais elle a aussi connu des obstacles. De notre correspondante à Johannesburg,Selon les chiffres officiels, il existe désormais près de 3 millions de ces maisons RDP. Mais leur qualité ou leur taille ont pu décevoir alors que le gouvernement s'est vite fait dépasser par la demande. Sello, au chômage, a hérité du vieux logement social de sa mère décédée, une habitation qui n'a jamais été terminée.Vous voyez, c'est à moitié fini, avec la chambre. Les briques s'arrêtent là, ils ont juste construit une chambre et des toilettes. Si on a l'argent, on peut finir, mais à l'époque ma mère n'avait pas de travail. Donc, on a complété avec de la tôle et du carton ici, pour protéger de la pluie et du vent. Quand il pleut, l'eau rentre quand même, c'est tout mouillé par là.Une liste d'attente de plus d'un million de personnesSi un foyer gagne moins de 170 euros par mois, il peut, en théorie, devenir propriétaire d'une de ces maisons RDP, de façon gratuite, et aura le droit de la revendre au bout de huit ans. Mais par exemple, dans la région autour de Johannesburg, il existe selon les autorités une liste d'attente de plus d'un million de personnes.Lassé de patienter, Morgan, la cinquantaine, a fini par construire illégalement une maison en tôle sur un terrain vide.J'avais bien déposé un dossier, il y a au moins 15 ans, et j'attends toujours, je ne sais pas ce qui se passe. Alors, je me suis construit cet abri, donc ça va. Mais je ne comprends pas pourquoi ils ne respectent pas leurs promesses. Il vaut mieux ne rien promettre du tout, plutôt que de faire des promesses en l'air. Maintenant, on demande des terres, et on construira nos propres logements, je pense que ce sera mieux.À lire aussiTrente ans de démocratie en Afrique du Sud: les échecs de la réforme agraireUne politique ambitieuse malgré les couacsÀ d'autres endroits, ce sont des projets de maisons RDP en cours de construction qui ont été occupés de force. Le programme a donc connu des ratés, mais cela reste une politique généreuse et ambitieuse pour Johan Fourie, professeur d'économie à l'université de Stellenbosch.On peut saluer le gouvernement pour avoir voulu aider le plus de gens possible, avec des contraintes budgétaires et des limites aux capacités à construire rapidement. Il y a, certes, des critiques autour de la façon dont cela a été fait : souvent, ces maisons RDP sont en périphérie des villes, et les gens doivent ensuite dépenser beaucoup en transports, pour aller travailler ou faire les courses. Ça les a placés dans une sorte de piège spatial. Aujourd'hui, on peut se dire que le gouvernement aurait dû faire ceci ou cela, mais je ne suis pas sûr qu'à l'époque, cela aurait été possible ou envisageable.Des limites dont le président Cyril Ramaphosa a en tout cas bien conscience, puisqu'il a récemment promis vouloir s'assurer que les logements sociaux soient situés plus près des emplois et des services.À lire aussiTrente ans de démocratie en Afrique du Sud: un bilan mitigé pour l'économie

Johan Fourie wrote a good piece in his newsletter yesterday about the challenges facing universities. Those challenges are ideological, political, financial and technological in nature. But aren't universities also "too big to fail"? They do the research that is important for innovation and innovation is important for economic growth. New research from the US makes one wonder about that too. This episode is supported by the NWU Business School.

Johan Fourie het gister ʼn goeie stuk in sy nuusbrief geskryf oor die uitdagings wat universiteite in die gesig staar. Daardie uitdagings is ideologies, polities, finansieel en tegnologies van aard. Maar is universiteite nie ook “too big to fail” nie? Hulle doen mos die navorsing wat belangrik is vir innovasie en innovasie is belangrik vir ekonomiese groei. Nuwe navorsing uit die VSA laat mens daaroor ook wonder. Hierdie episode word ondersteun deur die NWU Sakeskool.

#SlatdieSport gesels met Emma-Lee van der Westhuyzen en die atletiek-legende, Johan Fourie.

Having spent the past year on the African continent, I am now in the final stages of this series of African guests. This time I am talking to the economics professor and economic historian Johan Fourie. He is something like the South African Noah Yuval Harari whom most people know for his book Sapiens - A short history of mankind. Johan wrote a book as well called “Our long walk to economic freedom”. In this book he tells the history of human development, the role that economics play for progress and most importantly: he tells this story from a South African perspective. We talk about the importance of innovation and entrepreneurship for development and I get his take as an economist on climate change and AI. I think from time to time it is good to get an academic's overview of things to complement the views of founders on the ground. Enjoy! Feel free to reach out to me on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pascal-mies/Check out Johan's substack: https://johanfourie.substack.comand give his book "Our long walk to economic freedom" a try: https://www.johanfourie.com/ourlongwalk/

Ek en Johan Fourie gesels oor sy nuwe boek "Skatryk" wat handel oor hoekom ons beter as ons voorsate lewe. Jy kan Johan se boek nou aanlyn bestel of in enige goeie boekwinkel koop. Dit is 'n ongelooflike interessante lees oor die geskiedenis en waarom dit soveel beter gaan in die wêreld vandag, al voel dit soms nie so nie.

Multe persoane cred că astrele spun viitorul. Se raportează la ele ca la un glob de cristal și își lasă influențate viețile. Discuția pornește de la o replică dată de personajul Spock din Star Trek și continuă cu previziunile ecomomice. Au prezis unii oameni crizele sau a fost noroc? Ascultați un nou podcast realizat de Florin Bărbuță împreună cu jurnalista Florentina Cernat. Johan Fourie scrie în cartea Our Long Walk to Economic Freedom: A prezice viitorul este un exercițiu periculos, dar asta nu ne-a oprit să încercăm. Vânătorii-culegători au studiat cu atenție mediul în care trăiau pentru a prezice câtă mâncare vor avea. Primii fermieri au dezvoltat metode sofisticate de a prezice ploile. Unii au încercat să găsească indicii privind viitoarele evenimente în oase, cărți de tarot și bile de cristal. Ne putem uita în unele publicații și vedem că există o secțiune dedicată horoscopului. Are logică să vrei cunoști viitorul. Cunoașerea este putere, iar puterea înseamnă bani.

Our Long Walk to Economic Freedom: Lessons from 100,000 Years of Human History (Cambridge UP, 2022) is an entertaining and engaging guide to global economic history told for the first time from an African perspective. In thirty-five short chapters, Johan Fourie tells the story of 100,000 years of human history spanning humankind's migration out of Africa to the Covid-19 pandemic. His unique account reveals just how much we can learn by asking unexpected questions such as 'How could a movie embarrass Stalin?', 'Why do the Japanese play rugby?' and 'What do an Indonesian volcano, Frankenstein and Shaka Zulu have in common?'. The book sheds new light on urgent debates about the roots and reasons for prosperity, the march of opportunity versus the crushing boot of exploitation, and why it is the builders of society - rather than the burglars -who ultimately win out. Javier Mejia is an economist teaching at Stanford University, whose work focuses on the intersection between social networks and economic history. His interests extend to topics on entrepreneurship and political economy with a geographical specialty in Latin America and the Middle East. He received a Ph.D. in Economics from Los Andes University. He has been a Postdoctoral Associate and Lecturer at New York University--Abu Dhabi and a Visiting Scholar at the University of Bordeaux. He is a regular contributor to different news outlets. Currently, he is Forbes Magazine op-ed columnist. Learn more about your ad choices.

The vacation-Minute is a rebroadcast of an episode of last year. For the economy, the so-called long walk to freedom is still far from over. If you like history with your economics, I would like to recommend my colleague Johan Fourie's new book: Our long walk to economic freedom. * The Economics Minute is supported by the NWU Business School.

Die vakansie-Minuut is 'n heruitsending van 'n episode van verlede jaar. Vir die ekonomie is die sogenaamde long walk to freedom nog ver van klaar. As jy hou van geskiedenis saam met jou ekonomie wil ek graag my kollega Johan Fourie se boek: Our long walk to economic freedom, aanbeveel. * Die Ekonomie Minuut word ondersteun deur die NWU Sakeskool.

On this episode I chat with Johan about his latest book Our Long Walk To Economic Freedom.  It must be said that economics scare me and I have never really been able to grasp the various aspects of economics.  So when I came across Johan's I was a little hesitant to read it. Boy am I glad I did, Johan uses catchy chapter titles and explains things in an easily digestible manner.  Well worth a read. How did Einstein help create Eskom? Why can an Indonesian volcano explain the Great Trek? What do King Zwelithini and Charlemagne have in common? These are some of the questions Johan Fourie explores in this entertaining, accessible economic history spanning everything from the human migration out of Africa 100 000 years ago to the Covid-19 pandemic. Our Long Walk to Economic Freedom is an engaging guide to complex debates about the roots and reasons for prosperity, the march of opportunity versus the crushing boot of exploitation, and why the builders of societies – rather than the burglars ­– ultimately win out. Johan Fourie is Professor of Economics at Stellenbosch University. He is a founding member of the African Economic History Network and president of the Economic History Society of Southern Africa. He has published award-winning peer-reviewed articles and is a regular columnist for local newspapers. His passion is to equip the next generation of African scholars with the skills to benefit from the data revolution.

In die potgooi gesels ek met Professor Johan Fourie van die Universiteit van Stellenbosch oor sy nuwe boek, ‘Our long walk to economic freedom'. Ek lees baie, en dit is my ervaring dat meeste boeke nie regtig mens se kosbare tyd werd nie. Maar dié boek is beslis. In ‘n modern wêreld van “fake news”, relativisme, en ‘n gebrek aan ‘n basiese kennis van die geskiedenis glo ek Professor Fourie se boek is ‘n broodnodige en baie waardevolle hulpbron.

In this episode of The Small Print, Bronwyn speaks to professor Johan Fourie about his book “Our Long Walk to Economic Freedom.” They discuss the value of studying economic history, the progress of humankind, our youth’s pessimism about the future and why much of it is misplaced. They also talk about how social immobility — not inequality — is the main issue affecting South Africans, the dangers of the “degrowth” movement, and what policies South Africa could adopt to achieve greater economic freedom. --- Bronwyn Williams is a futurist, economist, trend analyst and host of The Small Print.

Ek het in gister se Minuut vertel dat dit nie lyk of robotte binnekort al ons werke gaan vat nie, maar dat daar verskille is tussen sektore. Een sektor wat tans op die voorpunt van innovasie is, is die landbou en Johan Fourie het onlangs ʼn goeie artikel daaroor geskryf (lees dit gerus hier: https://www.johanfourie.com/2021/04/06/the-future-of-the-farm/).
