Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch. http://bactra.org/weblog/algae-2021-06.html ( ) very clear and insightful discussion of persisting racial inequality in america. if you know thomas schelling's model of how segregated neighborhoods can arise spontaneously from even very weak preferences to live near your race, this book takes a similar microeconomic approach (loury studied under schelling) to many aspect of race beyond housing. the last half or so goes in a political philosophical direction, discussing whether race-blind liberal individualism is simply incapable of pulling us out of these bad (but "freely" chosen) equilibria we've gotten ourselves into, and whether and when racial solidarity can be appropriate. the best part of this book is actually the sociological bits that borrow irving goffman's concept of stigma and apply it to race and the way we frame policy discussions about black-white inequality. if you know loury's podcast, you may be surprised at how leftwing the book can seem. that said, note that he credits communitarians for critique of the libs, and this book is mostly not about policy solutions. still, i am pleased how the best neolib econ thought on the topic converges with the best socialist thinking. i note that he and the socialist karen fields each cite the other favorably. in summary this is a good, theory-heavy book offering models from economics and sociology that explain persistent racial inequality and show up the irrelevance of much mainstream lib and conservative thinking on the topic.

?Paints in chilling detail the distance between Martin Luther King ?s dream and the reality of present-day America. ? ?Anthony Walton, Harper ?s ?Intellectually rigorous and deeply thoughtful ?ŒLoury ?s book deals with racial stigma ?Œin its political and philosophical aspects as a cause of black disadvantage ?ŒAn incisive, erudite book by a major thinker. ? ?Gerald Early, New York Times Book Review ?Lifts and transforms the discourse on ?race ? and racial justice to an entirely new level. ? ?Orlando Patterson ?He is a genuine maverick thinker ?ŒThe Anatomy of Racial Inequality both epitomizes and explains Loury ?s understanding of the depressed conditions of so much of black society today. ? ?New York Times Magazine ?Loury provides an original and highly persuasive account of how the American racial hierarchy is sustained and reproduced over time. And he then demands that we begin the deep structural reforms that will be necessary to stop its continued reproduction. ? ?Michael Walzer Why are Black Americans so persistently confined to the margins of society? And why do they fail across so many metrics ?wages, unemployment, income levels, test scores, incarceration rates, health outcomes? Known for his influential work on the economics of racial inequality and for pioneering the link between racism and social capital, Glenn Loury is not afraid of piercing orthodoxies and coming to controversial conclusions. In this now classic work, he describes how a vicious cycle of tainted social information helped create the racial stereotypes that rationalize and sustain discrimination. Brilliant in its account of how racial classifications are created and perpetuated, and how they resonate through the social, psychological, spiritual, and economic life of the nation, this compelling and passionate book gives us a new way of seeing ?and of seeing beyond ?the damning categorization of race.
