World City Syndrome: Neoliberalism and Inequality in Cape Town

By David A. McDonald

Book Overview

This book examines the significance of Cape Town's claim to being a "world city." McDonald argues that Cape Town must be seen as a neoliberal city, situating it against the broader political and economic reforms of South Africa's re-entry into a global market economy.
