The theory of wasting assets with reference to the regulation and pricing of gold in the South African gold mining industry by Boyle, Georgina Ann

“…A detailed examination of the South African· gold mining taxation formula attempts to show how this type of· government intervention (in the for in of .a sliding scale taxation formula) results in uneconomic act ions by mine owners and non-optimal extraction patterns of the resource The contention is put forward that, given certain considerations, market ibrces should lead to the most optimal use of an exhaustible resource where property rights exist and are def inable0 Unlike common property resources, such as the fisheries, where market .forces fail to make the most optimal use of the resource, government intervention is unjustified The scope of the paper is intended to cover both the underlying theory of wasting assets and to relate this theory to gold in part icu1 ar., The determinants of the gold price will be considered as well as the effects of government intervention via· the gold mining taxation formula on the South· African gold mining industry. …”

Racial integration : a social intervention on a South African university campus by Kim, Caroline

“…Of significance, these patterns of racial isolation are also prevalent in contexts where contact conditions are among the most optimal: university campuses. Despite the hope that naturally occurring encounters between different groups would start to create more integrated environments, it may be that interventions would be required to facilitate the direct interpersonal contact presupposed in contact theory. …”
