A New Perspective on Racial Inequality

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The award-winning Black Wealth / White Wealth offers a powerful portrait of racial inequality based on an analysis of private wealth. Melvin Oliver and Thomas Shapiro's groundbreaking research analyzes wealth-total assets and debts rather than income alone- to uncover deep and persistent racial inequality in America, and they show how public policies have failed to redress the problem.
