A Different Vision

This work brings together for the first time the ideas, philosophies and interpretations of North America's leading African American economists, demonstrating that racial inequality has had an immense impact on African Americans' daily lives.
Bringing together the ideas, philosophies and interpretations of North America's leading African American economists, the study is presented in two volumes. Volume One includes an in-depth discussion of the economics of race and gender and assesses the contribution and influence of major African American economists and economic philosophies. The work also features an examination of racism within the economics profession. Volume Two focuses on issues of poverty, racial inequality and public policy, along with a detailed analysis of the theory and method which underlie them. The volumes draw the conclusion that racial inequality has had an immense impact in every sphere of African American life. As a result, African American economists do indeed have a different vision.
