Consumption patterns and the black middle class: The role of assets
No full textBlack consumption patterns differ from those of whites, even when considering income levels and household size. This applies particularly to the black middle class, the subject of intense public interest. This paper postulates that this difference results not from cultural differences in taste for middle class goods, but from an asset deficit experienced by blacks. We test this hypothesis using regression analysis based on the 2000 Income and Expenditure Survey. Once assets are considered, consumption of middle class goods by blacks even exceeds those of whites. One would then expect blacks to exhibit, compared to whites, (i) an asset deficit, (ii) an asset preference in purchases (to reduce the deficit), and (iii) a lag in consuming other middle class goods (if the asset deficit is not considered). Descriptive evidence, mainly graphical, from the All Media and Products Survey (AMPS) of 2004 provides support for the main hypothesis. This implies that, for black accruals to the middle class, a stage of asset accumulation would precede a stage of middle class consumption. But once assets have been acquired, the shift in consumption may be quite rapid. There may therefore remain two distinct groups of black middle class consumers: The established middle class (currently still quite small), who have accumulated assets and whose consumption patterns therefore would resemble those of whites; and the new middle class, who may prefer spending to acquire assets.Market definition, Delineation, Quantitative, Stationarity tests, Prices, Geographic, SSNIP, Hypothetical monopolist, Competition, Unit root, Price ratio, Antitrust

Changing Patterns of South African income distribution: Towards time series estimates of distribution and poverty
No full textResearch on income distribution in South Africa has, for obvious reasons, focused on inter-racial (inter-group) income distribution. Quite dramatic changes have occurred in inter-racial income distribution patterns since the 1970s, with the black share of income rising for the first time and at times exceeding the rise in their population share. This implies a narrowing inter-racial income gap. Data on income distribution remain scarce, so that it remains difficult to obtain the full picture about changes in income distribution. In particular, widening inequality within the black population has received much attention. Rises in black unemployment and in black wages have had inequality-inducing effects on black incomes. Is maldistribution of income between races now making way for maldistribution of income within race groups? Put differently, is inequality shifting from inter-group to intra-group inequality (from between group to within group inequality)? This paper pieces together information from various sources of data (censuses, household surveys, marketing surveys, published wage data series, etc.) to inform estimates of inter- and intra-group distribution over a longer time frame, in an effort to improve analysis of income inequality and poverty trends. These income distribution patterns also have considerable implications for the growth and evolution of the South African consumer market.income distribution, South Africa, time series, poverty
Life Anagogical: Imagination and Truth in Flannery O'Connor and G.K. Chesterton
No full textFlannery O’Connor and G.K. Chesterton share one conviction that is also a concern. It could be summed up in the following statement: due to the impact of secularisation and the fragmentation of a religious framework, life in the contemporary western world is becoming increasingly ‘unlived’. Our culture is more and more locked in theories, instead of being inspired by a vision or shaped by a view. This is creating a general dullness of feeling and a loss of insight into reality that could very well mean the end of art, at least as a judging, prophetic presence or as the articulation of the meaning of human experience. The answer to the state we are finding ourselves in, lies in a (re)discovery of the Christian faith, and more particularly of the Catholic Church. This is because the Catholic faith holds to the kind of truth that leads to fullness of life. Truth is only fully true if it can be lived, prayed and thought. It involves the whole person: our senses, emotions and intellect – held together in a ‘whole’ through the imagination. Imagination gives us vision – but this can not be ‘whole’ unless it is rooted in reality, in the concrete. Moreover it only becomes a true vision, if it is anagogical – able to discern the presence of grace in all that is, especially in our human physical and spiritual limitations. It is the calling of the believer in general, but of the artist in particular, to bring people back to seeing reality as it really is. For this, images and stories are needed that, while respecting the boundaries of art, have the ability to reveal grace, and so shock people into life anagogical – the foundation for a (re)turn to the Catholicism.status: Accepte
