Beyond ‘white monopoly capital’: Understanding race, control, and cohesion in the South African corporate elite
White monopoly capital’ (WMC) has become one of the most ubiquitous terms in the South African political lexicon, bolstered by a re-energised nationalist movement. Its rise has been the occasion for a welcome debate on the changing dimensions of race, power, and control in the capitalist class. However, that debate has remained polarised between a camp that has been largely dismissive of the very possibility of a racial power bloc and one that se…
Exploring production centred redistribution to address rising inequality
Policy interventions to address widening inequality have focused on fiscal-based redistributive measures as governments remain less inclined directly to intervene in shaping outcomes within the production system itself. However, low and stagnating tax rates and contractions in social spending have reduced the quantum of resources available to address inequality, curtailing the effectiveness of such policies. Clearly, the pursuit of purely redistr…

The MEC is said to act as a ‘system of accumulation’ determining patterns of accumulation across the economy. This article argues that MEC theories rest on hollow empirical…

Liberalization, democratization and the remaking of the South African corporate network 1993-2020
Two broad, complementary approaches have defined the literature on interlocking directorates. Inter-organizational theories see them as an outgrowth of firms' efforts to monitor and manage their commercial environment. Intra-class theories focus on their functionality in harmonizing and coordinating the political action of different segments of the capitalist elite. But comparative work on network formation has drawn almost exclusively on the fir…
