Race and Economics
by Walter E. Williams · 2011
★★★★★Editor's Pickbeginner
Williams examines the economics of racial discrimination and finds that free markets actually punish discrimination while government intervention enables it. He challenges the narrative that black economic progress requires government action, showing historically that markets and economic freedom have done more for minorities than regulation.
