The Durability of American Inequality - How Past and Present Racial Disparities Grow the Wealth Gap

This season, Stuart Shapiro has invited our newest faculty members to share their research.  In this episode, the last in this series of seven, he welcomes Professor of Public Policy Jermaine Toney, who studies the relationship between race, family wealth, parental income, and the income and prosperity of future generations. Professor Toney discusses the importance of understanding the past and the current systematic gaps that still weigh on Black households and talks about developing policy solutions for these inequalities.
