Description

Black Wealth / White Wealth by Melvin Oliver and Thomas Shapiro presents groundbreaking research into the roots of racial inequality in America by examining private wealth rather than income alone. This award-winning classic, first published in 1995, offers a powerful analysis of total assets and debts to reveal deep and persistent economic disparities. The book provides the first systematic empirical evidence explaining racial wealth gaps and critiques how public policies have failed to address these structural inequalities. Oliver and Shapiro's seminal work remains essential reading for understanding how historical and contemporary policy decisions have shaped wealth accumulation across racial lines, making it a foundational text in discussions of race, economics, and social justice.
