SA sources of capital are (expletive deleted)

Author: Daily Maverick March 17, 2025 Duration: 22:14
Let's get some things straight. There are only three (expletive deleted) sources of capital; debt, tax, and foreign investment. Well, actually there are more, but as entrepreneur Mark Barnes and Daily Maverick Editor at Larger Tim Cohen discuss, these are the main three, and SA needs to focus on the third because SA’s debt is too high and its taxes too onerous. We also discuss diplomacy and swearing; you might not think the two go together, but they do.

Every week, the complex world of business and current affairs gets a thorough and engaging examination on Stand Up! Business. Hosted by investment banker Mark Barnes and Business Maverick editor Tim Cohen, this podcast from Daily Maverick moves beyond the headlines to unpack the real stories shaping markets and economies.
