    The state and economic development in South Africa
    (1975-03) Kaplan, D.
    In an earlier paper, I stressed the conceptual inadequacies prevalent in both the liberal analyses of the State in the process of South African capitalist development and in the ‘new’ literature which departs from the liberal paradigm.(1) To repeat the critique, the latter literature "is centred around the question of labour policy and is designed to show, in contradistinction to the liberal analysis, that racial and labour policy has been functional to the interests of ‘capital’ in South African economic development. Although centred on the question of labour, the latter literature has made some specific statements concerning the State and has, at least implicitly, derived a theory of capitalist development for the South African case. On both these questions, I would suggest that this literature has been largely incorrect, and this has resulted from an inadequate conceptual framework... This paper is primarily designed to give additional substance to this critique, in a number of ways.

    The current 'upswing' in the South African economy and the international capitalist crisis: A reinterpretation of South African 'development'
    (1981-04-27) Kaplan, D.
    This paper attempts to situate the current economic ‘upswing’ in the South African economy in the context of the on-going economic crisis which is plaguing the international capitalist economy. I will argue that the two phenomena are integrally linked. The principal features of the international capitalist crisis and, even more centrally, the measures hitherto taken to resolve this crisis, are the principal factors contributing to the present ‘upswing’ in the South African economy
