Twenty-one years later, he has had to question that assumption as his freedoms are eroded and economic controls tighten. Mashaba, a selfmade entrepreneur who started his business Black Like Me in the dark days of apartheid, is committed to freeing South Africans from poverty.\u003cbr\u003eAs a successful business person, Mashaba says he can no longer be silent on the state of the South African economy. In \u003ci\u003eCapitalist Crusader\u003c\/i\u003e he outlines his quest for economic freedom for all South Africans—through a firm commitment to capitalist principles. He describes the changes in his political affiliations and maps out the route South Africa needs to follow to escape entrenched unemployment, poverty and inequality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bookstorm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47049216164080,"sku":"9781928257059","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781928257059_p0.jpg?v=1763637525","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781928257059","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
