Скачать или смотреть Trevon D. Logan: The Sins of Economic History

How and why does economic history miss the mark when discussing the history of racial economic inequality? And what do we miss when failing to account for the historical process of racialization, capitalism, and racial oppression? The use of traditional economic theory to describe racism and anti-Blackness has left us with an incomplete account of the dynamics of economic racial oppression. This lecture will discuss three sins of economic history, covering the economic history of enslavement, the economics and politics of Jim Crow segregation, and the economics of the Civil Rights Movement. At each turn, traditional economic history sins in describing racial economic inequality. This lecture will review the sins of economic history and highlight a generative path forward for social scientists seeking to explain the economics of our nation's continuing race problem.
