Resisting the Rule of the Rich: Defending Democracy Against Billionaire Power uses the contested legacy of Robert McBride to unpack South Africa’s uneasy relationship with power and heroism.

We spoke to Nco Dube on how wealth, power, and history continue to shape who is defended, who is condemned, and whose democracy is truly protected.
