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.
