Can the interconnected problems of poverty and inequality in South Africa be explained in ways that are distinctive from those that apply in other contexts and countries? How can efforts to solve these problems fruitfully move forward? Is taxation on wealth the answer?

Addressing these and related questions, the authors provide a textured understanding of the multiple issues involved.
