Economics and Racism
Economics and Racism: Economic Drivers and Consequences of Anti-Black Racism in the United States
While racism is relevant for many groups in many places, this course will focus on the economic drivers and consequences of anti-Black racism in the United States. A primary text for the course will be The Color of Law: A Forgotten History of How our Government Segregated America, by Richard Rothstein. The course will also incorporate materials from The Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis’ seminar series entitled: Racism and the Economy: Understanding the implications of structural racism in America’s economy and advancing actions to improve economic outcomes for all. We will learn how to use data analysis and visualization to understand the economic past and present of racism in the US (no previous data experience required).
