Reviews
Baradaran...provides a deep accounting of how America got to a point where a median white family has 13 times more wealth than the median black family., Anyone who manages money, invests in others' livelihoods or lives in America should read The Color of Money ...The book digs into financial institutions and policies that are responsible for creating and maintaining racial inequalities in the United States...The book breaks down the stereotypes of self-help dogma that tout 'save more, don't spend so much or pull yourself up' and rejects the idea that those who are not wealthy just need more financial literacy or mentorship., In this important book, law professor Mehrsa Baradaran uses the history of black banking from emancipation to the present as a vehicle for exploring the origins and persistence of the racial wealth gap in America. This is more than a history of financial institutions, though. It is a probing, revelatory study of racism and capitalism in the making of modern America, one that reveals how segregation, racial prejudice, and black economic disadvantage became mutually reinforcing., Baradaran's point is to show how white and Black Americans effectively live in two separate economies... As a work of history, the book contains a disturbingly coherent narrative of racist plunder spanning from the Freedman's Bureau bank to today's payday lenders... Baradaran's book is a must read for anyone interested in closing America's racial wealth gap., Observers as different in time and ideology as Frederick Douglass, Malcolm X, and Ronald Reagan have argued that black banks represent perhaps the best hope for securing a just society. As Baradaran powerfully maintains, however, any effort to restrict responsibility to banks alone or black people alone will always be doomed to failure. A swift, beautiful, and chastening book, The Color of Money reminds us, yet again, that black poverty is not really an economic problem, but rather a political problem requiring political solutions., Baradaran's point is to show how white and Black Americans effectively live in two separate economies...As a work of history, the book contains a disturbingly coherent narrative of racist plunder spanning from the Freedman's Bureau bank to today's payday lenders...Baradaran's book is a must read for anyone interested in closing America's racial wealth gap., Black capitalism has not improved the economic lives of black people, and Baradaran deftly explains the reasons why...Banking today already offers low interest loans and free services to the wealthy, while reserving payday lending and check cashing for those with the least resources. Baradaran's lesson is that a separate system of black capitalism would intensify, rather than ameliorate, this dynamic along the lines of race., Baradaran has produced an important, sobering assessment of historic and contemporary African American banks... [She] provides an overview of American and African American economic history from the era of slavery to the present., Combining a rich historical sweep with in-depth analysis of the mechanics of banking, Baradaran unpacks the brutal dilemma facing black banks--how to create black wealth in the context of a segregated and unequal 'Jim Crow' economy. Baradaran's brilliant and devastating analysis leads to an irrefutable conclusion: the racial wealth gap is the product of state law and public policy, and will only be reversed when the same governmental tools that created segregation and discrimination are deployed to end it., Baradaran provides a pivotal understanding of how our racialized history structured the disparity between the black and white share of the nation's wealth and how it continues to inhibit the development of black capital and black banks. Her book puts to rest, once and for all, the trope that self-help, buying black, and black banking are the panacea to black prosperity., Extraordinary... Baradaran focuses on a part of the American story that's often ignored: the way African Americans were locked out of the financial engines that create wealth in America, and the way the rhetoric of equal treatment under the law was weaponized, as soon as slavery ended, against efforts to achieve economic equality.

Synopsis
In 1863 black communities owned less than 1 percent of total U.S. wealth. Today that number has barely budged. Mehrsa Baradaran pursues this wealth gap by focusing on black banks. She challenges the myth that black banking is the solution to the racial wealth gap and argues that black communities can never accumulate wealth in a segregated economy., When the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863, the black community owned less than one percent of the United States' total wealth. More than 150 years later, that number has barely budged. The Color of Money pursues the persistence of this racial wealth gap by focusing on the generators of wealth in the black community: black banks. Studying these institutions over time, Mehrsa Baradaran challenges the myth that black communities could ever accumulate wealth in a segregated economy. Instead, housing segregation, racism, and Jim Crow credit policies created an inescapable, but hard to detect, economic trap for black communities and their banks. The catch-22 of black banking is that the very institutions needed to help communities escape the deep poverty caused by discrimination and segregation inevitably became victims of that same poverty. Not only could black banks not "control the black dollar" due to the dynamics of bank depositing and lending but they drained black capital into white banks, leaving the black economy with the scraps. Baradaran challenges the long-standing notion that black banking and community self-help is the solution to the racial wealth gap. These initiatives have functioned as a potent political decoy to avoid more fundamental reforms and racial redress. Examining the fruits of past policies and the operation of banking in a segregated economy, she makes clear that only bolder, more realistic views of banking's relation to black communities will end the cycle of poverty and promote black wealth., "Read this book. It explains so much about the moment...Beautiful, heartbreaking work." --Ta-Nehisi Coates When the Emancipation Proclamation was signed in 1863, the black community owned less than one percent of the United States' total wealth.
