Âmbito e conteúdo
The collection contains the working papers of Stephen Gelb, with materials relating to the South African economy and economic policy debates which he accumulated during his deep involvement in those debates between the mid-1980s and the early 2000s. The materials include his own research and analytical work, as well as his notes from meetings, many reports and documents from South African and international organisations, some published by the organisations, many unpublished working drafts. Some of the material was in the public domain at the time, some had private or narrow circulation. It is a collection reflecting his own involvements and interests.
