Trade and investment. An activist’s manual

This manual attempts to help us see the relationships between the daily struggles of our lives in South Africa and the big economic questions of trade and investment. his booklet is for worker educators and activists – from shop stewards in the trade unions to activists in the community and youth social movements. It is called a manual because it attempts to act as a guide for activists struggling to defend their jobs and the living standards of their communities rather than a work of academic research. It is directed at activists who want to know about current debates on issues of trade and investment and who want practical short answers to difficult questions.
