《资本与意识形态》一书最有价值的特点之一是，它关注认真对待历史，并考虑不同政治和经济制度的出现如何与时间上关于公平和正义的话语相关联。本文进一步推动了这一议程，承认少数发达国家的经验不应被视为跨时间和空间的不平等动态的广义研究的模板。在本文中，我们询问皮凯蒂的分析和政策建议，对特殊性，是中央了解生产和复制南非境内的不平等。我们反思了南非的情况，不平等的结构及其自1994年以来的变化。我们回顾了过去25年来为解决不平等问题而实施的一系列政策干预措施。我们强调，几个世纪的殖民主义和各种形式的种族隔离所投下的长期阴影强烈证实了皮凯蒂对理解历史的重视。但这既是肯定，也是批评，因为这一具体遗产对后种族隔离社会及其政策产生了根本性的、嵌入式的影响。皮凯蒂意识到南非的不平等程度如此之高，以至于这是一个“未知的领域”。我们绘制了一些这一领域，以揭示这些极端的初始财富和种族不平等是如何在各个方面传播不平等并破坏善意的政策的。我们认为，理解采掘历史、嵌入的财富不平等以及复杂的社会和政治制度，使我们能够理解和面对一些原因，为什么即使根据进步的政策，其中许多与皮凯蒂的建议一致，政府干预迄今未能减少不平等。
One of the most valuable features ofCapital and Ideologyis its concern to take history seriously and consider how the emergence of different political and economic regimes relate to discourses about fairness and justice across time. This paper pushes this agenda further by acknowledging that the experience of a few developed nations should not be taken as the template for the generalized study of inequality dynamics across time and space. In this paper, we interrogate Piketty's analysis and policy proposals against specificities that are central to understanding the production and reproduction of inequalities within South Africa. We reflect on the South African case, the structure of inequality and its changes since 1994. We review a battery of policy interventions that have been implemented to address inequality in the last 25 years. We emphasize that the long shadow cast by centuries of colonialism and various forms of apartheid strongly affirm Piketty's emphasis on understanding history. But this is both affirmation and critique given the foundational, imbedded impact that this specific legacy has had on post‐apartheid society and its policies. Piketty is aware that the levels of inequality in South Africa are so high that this is “unknown territory.” We map out some of this territory to reveal how these extreme initial wealth and racial inequities inform the reproduction of inequalities in all dimensions and undermine well intentioned policies. We claim that understanding extractive histories, imbedded wealth inequalities, and complex social and political institutions allows us to understand and confront some of the reasons why even in light of progressive policies, many of which are in line with the proposals from Piketty, government interventions have thus far failed to reduce inequality.
