Description

Explore a classic study on American social dynamics with Black Wealth / White Wealth by Melvin Oliver and Thomas Shapiro. Published by Routledge, this award-winning book provides a deep look at racial inequality through the lens of private wealth. Unlike many studies that focus only on income, this research examines total assets and debts to reveal the true extent of economic disparities in the United States. This groundbreaking work offers systematic empirical evidence to explain why racial gaps persist. By analyzing how public policies have failed to address these issues, the authors provide a clear portrait of the structural factors at play. Whether you are a student of sociology, an academic, or a reader interested in social sciences, this text serves as a foundational resource for understanding the history and reality of wealth distribution in America.
