Dollars and Dividends

In “Dollars and Dividends: The Racial Wealth Gap in America,” authors Pasquale De Marco and Pasquale De Marco tackle one of the most pressing issues facing the United States today: the racial wealth gap. This thought-provoking book delves into the complex history, current realities, and profound consequences of wealth inequality between black and white Americans.
Drawing on extensive research and compelling personal narratives, “Dollars and Dividends” exposes the systemic and institutional barriers that have historically prevented black Americans from accumulating wealth. From redlining and housing discrimination to disparities in education and employment opportunities, the authors lay bare the roots of the racial wealth gap and its devastating impact on individuals, families, and communities.
The book goes beyond mere diagnosis to offer a roadmap for change. It highlights successful policies and programs that have been implemented to address wealth inequality, and it explores innovative approaches to building wealth in black communities. From expanding access to affordable housing to increasing opportunities for entrepreneurship, “Dollars and Dividends” provides a blueprint for creating a more just and equitable society.
This book is a clarion call for action. It urges policymakers, community leaders, and all who are committed to racial justice to confront the racial wealth gap head-on. With its rigorous analysis, powerful storytelling, and practical solutions, “Dollars and Dividends” is an indispensable resource for anyone who wants to understand and address this critical issue.
“Dollars and Dividends” is essential reading for anyone interested in racial inequality, economic justice, and the future of America. It is a must-read for policymakers, educators, community activists, and anyone who wants to make a difference in the fight for a more just and equitable society.
