Black Economics: Solutions for Economic and Community Empowerment

This micro- and macro-analysis of economic conditions in the Black community explores why African Americans earn only 61 percent of white American income, why many prefer to maintain a “good job” rather than own and operate their own businesses, and why Black consumers spend only 3 percent of their $600 billion within Black-owned businesses.

Topics covered include present and historical economic analysis, foreign economic success, the global economy, obstacles to development, and the behaviors of Black consumers and entrepreneurs.
