Books by Steven Friedman

Offers a searing analysis of government and expert scientists' responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. Friedman argues that South Africa is two societies in one - a 'First World' which resembles Western Europe and North America, and a 'Third World' which looks much like the rest of Africa or South Asia.

Argues against the stereotype that the goal of new democracies, such as South Africa and other developing nation-states, is to become like the global North, and asserts that democracies can only work when every person has an equal say in the public decisions that affect them.
