When despondency sets in over examples of blatant corruption in South Africa, one way of retaining sanity is through perspective. My point of departure is that SA is a young democracy. And that any society requires time to mature. Especially where money is involved.

There are continuous reminders in one of my favourite and most often-referenced books, Engines That Move Markets by Alasdair Nairn. I imported my copy via Amazon. Good news for those attending BNC#5 is Exclusive Books will bring a few copies to the event which will be available for sale at their Drakensberg pop-up shop.
