One of the most influential Businessmen in South Africa is in the Top 100 of SA’s ‘Who’s Who’ and runs one of the biggest Transport Companies. The Drivers (casual) earn R16.00 per hour. Is that fair…..and these guys chauffer people around from Airports and Aircraft Crew to their Hotels and back. Compare this income to a cleaner that works at a ship yard that earns R15.00 per hour. Mr. Steinhoff should be ashamed of accumulating millions on the back of others.

Thank you – much appreciated. You make a fair point (Ha, ha! …Apologies for overusing the theme, my sense of humour is often quite trivial.) but I would hope that improving the State is also an option.

(Then again, who am I kidding? My cautiously pessimistic outlook on life tells me adjustments to make State healthcare more like a market system, where all doctors would probably be paid more and great doctors would earn oodles, are unlikely in my lifetime.)

Very good analysis. Indeed, any artificial intervention in a free market perverts its natural functioning, thereby creating these aberrations and destroying wealth.

However, the market naturally attempts to correct itself, compensating for the induced shortages through “black markets.” Not all doctors, teachers etc. are employed by the State. Private schools and hospitals (local and foreign) is an example of this corrective market mechanism, drawing the best talent and paying truer market wages.

Thus, “there appears to be only one solution: [Abolish the State or be better]. Fair’s fair”.
