First Published in 1988. The author's arguments are a response to five recent and controversial books: Thomas Sowell's Markets and Minorities and Civil Rights: Rhetoric or Reality?, Walter Williams's State Against Blacks, George Gilder's Wealth and Poverty, and William J. Wilson's Declining Significance of Race. These authors insist that racial discrimination can no longer explain the disadvantaged position of blacks in American society; indeed, …

The Survey of Minority-Owned Business Enterprises (SMOBE) is published every five years by the Department of Commer…

Nea Presidential Address, 1991
Prior to the sixteenth century, the Indian Ocean trading network was one of the wealthiest commercial regions in the world. It included states of East Africa, the Arabian peninsula, the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, China and Japan. By circumnavigating Africa, Portugal was the first European nation to gain access to the region. Through the exercise of naval superiority, blockading of strategic shipping lanes, imposition of duties and expul…
Segmented Labor Markets
Using data from a supplement to the 1983 Current Population Survey, the author tests hypotheses of segmented labor market theory. Two labor market sectors (a primary sector and secondary sector) are identified on the basis of occupational segmentation, as inferred from workers' answers to the question of whether specific skills or prior training were conditions for their employment. The results show significant unexplained earnings differentials …
