Clawing Back draws on a rich ethnography of the human relationships at the centre of the redistribution of wealth. The book shows how people use wages, welfare and debt to build social relations and market futures. They also use these resources to engage with the state and to convert between commodified and non-commodified relationships.

As jobs disappear, wages flat-line and inequality grows, this timely book presents a compelling analysis of the need, conditions and possibilities for a universal basic income (UBI) in South Africa and beyond. Highly topical and distinctive in its approach, In the Balance: The Case for a Universal Basic Income in South Africa and Beyond offers a robust and critical examination of a universal basic income.

This century belongs to the African philanthropists, whose capital, influence, local knowledge, and moral authority have the power to address pressing challenges that face the continent.
