The Hidden Cost of Being African American: How Wealth Perpetuates Inequality
Shapiro, Thomas M. (Pokross Chair of Law and Social Policy, Heller School of Social Policy Management, Pokross Chair of Law and Social Policy, Heller School of Social Policy Management, Brandeis University)
Shapiro argues that what separates the races is not industriousness or a culture of poverty but rather the presence of absence of financial safety nets, particularly those that come in the form of parental financial support and inheritance.
