BlackEconomics.org® “Headline Thoughts” (HLT) reflect our contemplations of, and conclusions about, recent, and important media headlines from a Black American economic perspective.

How Unfair is the Global Economic Strategic Game?
BlackEconomics.org® It is common knowledge that today’s global economic strategic game is characterized by the Global North generally exploiting economically the Global South. The Global North thrives via its highly valued advanced technological economies, which are often made possible—in part—by low-valued primary factors of production from the Global South.

The Gift that Keeps on Giving: Black America’s RDIS
BlackEconomics.org® In a White Supremacist world, it is expected that efforts would have been undertaken to influence Black Americans to believe that we had little-to-no power—especially economic power. Then “spending power” (now thought to be approaching $2.0 trillion) emerged as a counter claim to our powerlessness. More recently during the Covid-19 Pandemic, several submissions appeared […]
