The Political Economy of the Black Ghetto - William K. Tabb - Bog

This is the most comprehensive study yet to appear on the economic aspects of the black ghetto. Its major thesis is that a colonial relationship now exists between the ghetto and the larger society. Present policies, far from alleviating this situation, do much to reinforce it. Professor Tabb analyzes the manner in which vested interest use economic power to resist ghetto reform and sets forth new proposals to do away with the restrictions that hedge in ghetto occupants and prevent them from achieving a fair share of American prosperity.
