Evidence

In South Africa, where to be black is a “mortal sin,” new segregation plans fly in the face of the demands of urban economics: … Despite the stubborn record of the government, few businessmen really believe that the government can carry through the new plans without totally wrecking the country’s economy. — Lyn H. Lofland, World of Strangers_ Order and Action in…, 433
