Why racial division acts as a drain on the entire American economy
In short: Public policy expert Heather C. McGhee explains how racism functions as more than a social injustice, acting as a systemic force that undermines economic potential and drives poor policy decisions for all citizens.
Drawing on her research and travels throughout the United States, McGhee argues that the economic consequences of racism extend far beyond the harm inflicted on people of color. She explores the concept that our economic fates are interconnected, suggesting that the cost of remaining a divided nation is a significant drain on the country's collective prosperity.
