African Americans in the U.S. Economy

The forty-three chapters in African Americans in the U.S. Economy focus on various aspects of the economic status of African Americans, past and present. Taken together, these essays present two related themes: (1) when it comes to economics, race matters, and (2) racial economic discrimination and inequality persist despite the optimistic predictions of standard economic analysis that racial discrimination cannot thrive in a free-market economy.Conrad, Cecilia A. is the author of 'African Americans in the U.S. Economy', published 2005 under ISBN 9780742543775 and ISBN 0742543773.
