Johan Fourie was runner-up in the inaugural PSG/ERSA BigThink Competition. Tasked to write an essay to generate inclusive growth, Fourie turned to his field of expertise, economic history, with the essay 'Faster, stronger, together: How knowledge of our past can help us build a prosperous South Africa that works for everyone'. A shortened version is available here or on his blog, Our Long Walk.

 

The theme of next year's competition is How Capital Markets Enhance Economic Performance and Facilitate Job Creation. The winner will take home R500 000.
