The upside of down in Bruce Whitfield's world — Perspectives making sense of our new world; historically and economically
Bruce Whitfield (A multi award-winning business broadcaster, journalist, author, speaker, MC and conference facilitator)

Bruce Whitfield (@brucebusiness) doesn't need any introduction if you're a South African (for the few who don't know him; see his bio below). I love prompting Bruce for his views which are usually fascinating, verbose, contextual and wrapped in beautiful historical metaphors.

I 'cold-called' him this morning and (completely unscripted) he shared his views re the pandemic, the world economy, South Africa and where this is all heading. Wonderfully positive perspectives that left me hopeful of our future.

He also shamelessly and typically (*wink*) plugged his new best-selling book (see link below to purchase it).

Bruce's bio : A multi-platform award-winning financial journalist, Bruce’s work on radio, television and in print gives him unique access to South Africa’s biggest power brokers in business and money. He has been named ‘Financial Journalist of the Year’ three times in the past decade by independent judges in the annual Sanlam Awards, and has received recognition for his work on the economy, companies and personal finance.

The article he authored that we mention https://www.businesslive.co.za/fm/opinion/2020-05-13-bruce-whitfield-dear-minister-patel-let-me-tell-you-whats-unfair-/
