Anti-Blackness and progressive approaches to Economic Redistribution
Listen now
Description
In this episode, Lawrence explores the intersections of race and economic redistribution.  Advocates of "race-neutral" economic redistribution policies have rebranded them as "race-conscious," asserting that policies like baby bonds and Universal Basic Income (UBI) would disproportionately benefit Black people while mitigating political backlash.  This discussion exposes the limitations of such an approach. Drawing on historical context and current policies, we delve into the necessity of race-conscious strategies to achieve genuine economic equity. Support the Show.
