Project Description

Summary:  View help for Summary The racial wealth gap in the United States is the object of much misrepresentation and misunderstanding. Our paper is intended to provide a corrective. We will address how the mainstream economic view of the drivers of racial disparities in wealth is a human capital view that promotes anti-Black and personal responsibility narratives while ignoring the significance of the racially uneven transmission of resources across generations. It also fails to acknowledge the cumulative impact of U.S. racial history on present wealth gaps. This is the code and data accompanying the article.
