Persistent Disparity: Race and Economic Inequality in the United States Since 1945
by William A. Darity, Samuel L. Myers
Category: Business & Economics

The authors assess the extent of black economic progress in the U.S. since World War II and forecast the development of the black-white income gap into the 21st century. Competing explanatory theories for the gap are examined and ameliorative policies are explored. They conclude that current policies will be insufficient to close the gap in the future.
