Reconsidering the economics of identity: Position, power, and property

William Darity

Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, 2024, vol. 46, issue 1, 4-12

Abstract: The origin of inequality between social identity groups is anchored in acts of violent dispossession of freedom and property by the group seeking the advantages of dominance. The beginning of contemporary disparities in income and especially wealth between Black and White Americans follow the same pattern. Of particular significance is the racialized character of U.S. land distribution policies in the aftermath of the Civil War.
