The Impact of Immigration on African Americans
Immigration and the Employment of African American Workers
Family Structure and the Afro-Euro Poverty Gap: When Employment Policies Aren't Enough
Faded Dreams: The Politics and Economics of Race in America
Faded Dreams paints a new and challenging picture of why racial inequality changes in America. The author argues that blacks caught up with whites mainly when government policies, under political pressure by blacks and an important segment of the white community, pushed for greater racial equality. Similarly, the greatest obstacles to black gains in other periods have also been government policies. These policies usually assumed away the race pro…
The Political Economy of Labor Market Discrimination: A Classroom-Friendly Presentation of the Theory
The Question of Discrimination: Racial Inequality in the U.S. Labor Market
Metaphors of Discrimination: A Comparison of Gunnar Myrdal and Gary Becker
Introduction The critique of positivism is old news. Marxian and institutionalist economists have long believed that economics is an interpretive, value laden and historically conditioned discipline, and have argued against the simplistic empiricism and rationalism characteristic of the neoclassical majority (e.g., Dobb, 1973, ch 1). In recent years, however, the writings of Donald McCloskey (especially 1985) have brought this critique into much …

Racial Inequality and White Employment: An Interpretation and Test of the Bargaining Power Hypothesis
This article disputes the argument and the evidence used to conclude that white workers are hurt by discrimination against blacks. Racism may increase the bargaining power of white workers if it unifies white ethnics, and may benefit them if it reduces job competition. The distributional consequences of discrimination will vary with the intensity of aggregate unemployment and the degree of racial segmentation in the labor market. The impact of ra…

Racism and the making of the American working class
The Corporate Income Tax -- Who Pays?; Craig Medlen Replies; It's Worse Than That!; Race and Class
Just a brief note to comment on Craig Medlen's article "Corporate Taxes and the Federal Budget," which appeared in the November issue of MR. Medlen makes a number of interesting points in the context of what I think is a generally correct theory ("stagnation theory"). Yet the article is fundamentally flawed because it omits any discussion of the incidence of corporate taxation. Getting clear about incidence is not only theoretically important but…
The Measurement and Interpretation of Black Wage and Occupational Gains: A Reevaluation
Important changes have occurred in the economic situation of black Americans over the last two decades. The reported convergence in black and white wages and occupational positions are critically important to understand. An awareness of the tenacity of racism should not lead us to argue that reality is static. At the same time, it would be a mistake to draw extreme conclusions about the crumbling of one of the historical building blocks of the U.…
