Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the issues surrounding the gold question. It begins by stating that the price of gold has been fixed by the British government, despite annual production being small compared to the total gold stock. The author believes that to increase the price of gold would be imp…ractical, but instead suggests other solutions, including the establishment of a mint in Johannesburg and government assistance in offsetting the increased cost of production for mines. Additionally, the work covers topics such as the status of the diamond, coal, iron, copper, and tin industries in South Africa, as well as the potential for future mineral discoveries. The author views the book's central subject within the broader context of South Africa's mineral wealth and its economic development. The book offers valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities facing the mining industry in South Africa, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the country's economic history and future prospects.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of Transvaal, South Africa's Liquor Laws. It particularly reviews sixteen years of prohibition laws that have, to a large extent, failed to prevent a thriving black market for alcohol. The book provides conclusive evidence of the illicit sale of alcohol i…n spite of stringent deterrents and punitive measures, including prison sentences. Looking at the social and cultural history of this law in South Africa, the author suggests the country is not yet ready to consider complete prohibition for all people, but that the current ban on alcohol sales to non-whites has proven ineffective and has led to severe social ills. The book's insights into how laws and crime often operate at odds with one another will be of significant interest to scholars of law, criminology, and social history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
