Description
South Africa is the most explosive frontier between big business and potential revolution: the most critical test-case for the political judgement of multinationals. For the multinationals, every commercial decision is burdened with political consequences; for Western political leaders, every political judgement must be weighed against commercial factors.
Anthony Sampson, former editor of Drum magazine in Johannesburg, has a rare knowledge of black politics. This, combined with his expert business knowledge, makes BLACK AND GOLD a unique insight into the critical relationship between international big business and the black political movements in South Africa.
'A thorough and thoroughly interesting book'
