The main thesis of this essay is to establish, by way of counter historical-development argument, that economic growth in South Africa is linked with the entrenchment of apartheid as a policy. Immediate fall-out from this main thesis is an argument that economic sanction, to be hereinafter referred to as sanction, rather than adversely affect the black majority, would lead to a positive resolution of the apartheid question.
Whereas the ‘Progressive Force’ [1] position is that financial and business expansion in South Africa will break the monopoly of resources presently appropriated by the white minority, thereby leading to the effective dismantling of apartheid as state policy. And this is to be achieved only through an aggressive investment by the Europeans and Americans in South Africa.
