Abstract
Over the past year or two, politicians have promised a 'developmental state', 'paradigm change', a 'new growth path', and 'decent work'. These forceful words demonstrate a desire by government to ease South Africa's widespread poverty and unemployment. The national budget is the clearest expression of government's policy intentions, writes MIRIAM ALTMAN.-
