Abstract: From the Apartheid régime, South Africa inherited a very disproportional distribution of income and wealth, leading to a persistent material discrimination of the majority of its citizens. This may only be overcome by large scale measures of economic and social reform. Those are outlined by the Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP). The RDP is an ambitious plan on investment in human assets, promising the creation of new employment and the reshaping of distributive patterns. However, its implementation can only be financed if economic growth is sufficiently strong. Additionally, a policy pursuing investment in human assets can only be effective if certain conditions concerning its utilization in the market economy are met. This paper aims at a comprehensive theoretical analysis of current measures derived from the RDP. These are analysed by means of the process-theory of human assets.
