Overview:
In The Black Boom, Jason L. Riley examines the economic gains experienced by African Americans during the years preceding the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly under the Trump administration. He highlights record-low black unemployment, rising wages, and narrowing income gaps as evidence of policies that promoted broad-based prosperity.
Key Themes or Insights
Riley attributes much of this progress to deregulation, tax reform, and a strong labor market that benefited lower-income and minority workers. He contrasts these outcomes with previous periods of slower growth, arguing that market-oriented policies can be more effective than government programs in improving economic conditions for black Americans.
Style and Usefulness
Clear and data-focused, the book distills economic trends into accessible analysis. It offers a compelling case for evaluating policy by measurable results rather than political rhetoric, making it valuable for readers interested in the intersection of economics, race, and public policy.
