Implications of EMU for South Africa: Threat, policy example, or
irrelevance?
"If you have the money minted, I wish you to adopt the same
denominations as French money. I have done the same things with
my kingdom in Italy. That way, there will be a uniform money
throughout the whole of Europe, which will be a great advantage
to trade."
Napoleon Bonaparte, letter to the King of Naples, 6 May 1807.
"Innumerable sorts of coinage circulated among the hundreds of
Greek towns, and (Plato) proposed a commercial money that would
be reserved for public expenses, wars, diplomacy, and external
commerce."-- Catherine Veglio, Science et vie Economie, 1998
Auspicious political and economic currents
The collapse of communism had a major bearing on the negotiated
settlement in South Africa
It is widely agreed that the epochal events that led to the
end of the cold war and the collapse of the Berlin Wall were of
inestimable importance in the negotiated settlement to end
minority rule in South Africa. Until the collapse of communism as
a rival economic system to the western capitalist model, the
previous rulers of South Africa were always likely to do their
utmost to delay the advent of majority rule. Moreover, given
that old-order communist governments had been significant backers
of the ANC, until the collapse of these states the post-
transition South African economy would most likely have been run
along central planning lines.
The advent of democracy in South Africa roughly coincided
with he triumph of the American model of democratic capitalism as
the Only viable political economic arrangement. Now, however,
with the creation of the EMU, one of the key questions is whether
or not Europe is likely to evolve an economic system that differs
in some vital respects from the American model, and to some extent
exerts an influence on economic policy-making in countries outside
Europe. Of deeper political than economic significance? EMU is a
political economic event. How will it shape policy making
elsewhere in the world?
A leading scholar of economics in the realm of public policy,
Martin Feldstein (1997, p23) argues that "(t)he introduction of
the European economic and monetary union (EMU) could be the most
far-reaching European political event of the twentieth century."
The significant and highly charged adjective in this statement is
"political". Both Feldstein and Anatole Kaletsky, the much
respected economics commentator for The Times of London, argue
that EMU is much more a political than an economic event.
Kaletsky (19 November 1998, p24) asks why is "the British
political debate on Europe drawn like a magner to irrelevant and
indeterminate economic issues, such as the effects of the single
currency on levels of interest rates, unemployment and exports? It
should be concentrated on the real issues - the pledge reiterated
in Gerhard Schroder's inaugural address last week - `to drive
forward the further development of a political union in Europe'
after monetary union." Because this author's sphere of competence
vests largely in the financial and economic realms, and not
specifically in the political, this note will of necessity focus
mainly on the `irrelevant and indeterminate economic issues', but
will not disregard consideration of the broader political issues.
In any event this writer does not entirely side with Feldstein
and Kaletsky. Who, for instance, would quarrel with the statement
that in their respective appointments of Volcker and Greenspan to
the helm of the US Federal Reserve, Presidents Carter and Reagan
may well have unknowingly made their single most important
contributions to global stability?

INVE has been reloaded with enhanced coverage. The Information
Provider, Thomson Financial, is supplying a new data feed which
increases INVE's coverage by 50%. The documents will now match, page
by page, the PDF's of the original reports. To gain the greater
coverage the following changes have been made:
1. Page level indexing has been replaced by a list of keywords,
subheadings and miscellaneous information taken from the cover
page of the PDF. These appear at the beginning of the first text
paragraph.
2. Blank pages or nonsequential page numbering.
PDF's often have non-sequential page numbering and/or blank
pages. However, on DataStar, a Table of Contents must
display sequential numbers and charge for each page. Therefore,
if blank pages are printed, they will be charged as a standard TX
paragraph. However, these pages are clearly indicated in the
Table of Contents as 'THIS PAGE IS DELIBERATELY LEFT BLANK. DO
NOT SELECT' and can therefore be avoided by not printing the
affected TX paragraph. An extract from a Table of Contents
containing blank pages is shown below:
