Black workers or Chapter 11. You make the call. This example, conceived by Pepperdine University economist George Reisman, shows how the marketplace punishes racism. The President's Advisory Commission on Race should remove its race-tinted glasses. A business' most cherished asset remains its employees.
Employers find it hard to come by competent, loyal, enthusiastic and dependable workers.
Competition compels bosses to fight over this type of employee, thus providing the worker plenty of options if he or she feels under-appreciated. In the long run, the world is going to have the best, and any difference in race, religion, or previous history will not long keep the world from what it wants. I think that the whole future of my race hinges on the question as to whether or not it can make itself of such indispensable value that the people in the town and the state where we reside will feel that our presence is necessary to the happiness and well-being of the community. No man who continues to add something to the material, intellectual, and moral well-being of the place in which he lives is long left without proper reward. This is a great human law which cannot be permanently nullified.
