AUT: "DEBATE" Issue #4: OUT NOW!!!

["FRANCO BARCHIESI" <029FRB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

"[People's] willingness to pay [for basic services] is all too easily
undermined by the depiction of ... services as free goods, to be
supplied as of rights" (South African Government, RDP Ministry,
"Urban Infrastructure Investment Framework," 1995).


   ... if you have something to object to the above line of reasoning,
    then you might be interested in the only South African-based left
      journal that clearly rejects neoliberalism, with no compromise,

                   and where GEAR did not pass...


                    D    E    B    A    T    E
                Voices from the South African Left
