Black Economics: Solutions for Economic and Community Empowerment – 2nd Edition (2002) by Jawanza Kunjufu

Description

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

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