    AYABONGA CAWE | EU and Canada seek ‘global coalitions’ for resilience (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A few years from now we may consider the past few days as “momentous”. Not only did the oil price breach the $100 mark definitively, the US Federal Reserve, under its new chair, Kevin Warsh, raised interest rates to establish its credibility. Though those developments grabbed the headlines, it was Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney hobnobbing with the Brussels elite that presented the most distinct shift. European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen referred to a “new world”, where those

    AYABONGA CAWE | Tariff talk masks deeper issues in sugar earnings (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In the letters section of this newspaper a few weeks ago reader Jeremy Samson expressed frustration at the “bland” Sens notifications he often encounters, “filled with self-congratulatory boardroom speak”. “Why can’t they tell it like it is?” Samson asked, lamenting the “sugary drivel” that “takes liberties” in embellishing the story behind the numbers. Samson may also have been implicitly referring to market prints that not only embellish but also seek out convenient scapegoats. Such literary l

    AYABONGA CAWE | Eastern Cape co-ops strive for economic renewal (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The future may lie off the beaten track, in market forms different to the archetypal profit-maximising firm. Co-operatives rule the roost in Brazilian poultry exports and a growing share of auto component volumes globally are associated with firms linked to the well-known Spanish co-operative movement, Mondragon.

    AYABONGA CAWE | Buyer power shaping SA’s shifting economy (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In her magnum opus on “imperfect competition” published in the early 1930s, British economist Joan Robinson suggested that a “monopsony” is one of the most awkward market structures in economics. Competition is not only “imperfect”, but it is so due to uneven power dynamics between buyers and sellers. It is in this sense political: an outcome of not just brute economic strength (from quality or scale) but also a matter of rules (written and unwritten) and conventions designed in favour of one at

    AYABONGA CAWE | Farmers struggle to fill jobs after migrant ‘deadline’ (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    In a television news report shortly before the June 30 “deadline” given to foreign migrants in South Africa, a young African man outside the Malawian consular office in Woodmead, Johannesburg, told the reporter that he had driven in from Patensie. Patensie? If you have never heard of the place I do not blame you. It is a very small town in the Sarah Baartman district of the Eastern Cape that is known more for its citrus exports than any insurrectionary impulses. Between April and October every y
