This book provides the foundation for thinking “outside the box” of conventional legal strategies and arguments to make visible new and more creative paths toward racial justice. For example, how are familiar legal debates like the one over “affirmative action” transformed when seen from a perspective incorporating a sophisticated understanding of the relationship between race and class, and a vision enriched by both efficiency and justice concerns? Will market competition do away with racial discrimination? How does the empirical evidence of persistent discrimination fit with neoclassical economic claims that over time markets are race neutral?
This book provides the resources for developing a multifaceted approach to racial justice. Race and class have long been inextricably intertwined in American society. From this perspective, neither political struggles nor economic strategies alone can dissolve the knot of racial inequality. Belief systems, everyday practices, and social norms undergird the operation of all institutions, public and private; and in the United States, race has historically played an important role in shaping these beliefs, practices, and norms. Thus, serious students of inequality should understand the strengths and weaknesses of both market and government regulation. Moreover, students should understand that both market and government institutions are rooted in culture.
This book is the answer for faculty teaching courses about discrimination and looking for materials that take seriously the problem of racial subordination and provide in-depth, rigorous analyses of economic frameworks contributing to inequality.

If you teach any course concerned with gender equality, this book is an indispensable tool for stimulating a serious analysis of the financial and economic penalties imposed on women who must navigate between the modern Scylla and Charybdis of work and family life. This book poses substantive questions about the family, the market, the state, and the gender order, and provides a variety of analytic tools for thinking about them.
The American gender order has changed in dramatic ways since the turn of the twentieth century, and to a great extent, it was the marketplace that gave rise to these changes. The “family wage” associated with union jobs in the industrial has largely disappeared. In the new economy, high-paying careers demand steep investments of education and training, while jobs accessible to those without college and post-graduate training increasingly tend to be “McJobs” that offer flexibility, but little in the way of high wages, good benefits, stability, or access to a progressive career ladder. In order to pursue the good life, women as well as men now expect to be in the marketplace for much of their adult lives. <ul>
<li>How should the family, and the state, respond to these changes? </li>
<li>Has the imperative pushing all adults into the marketplace created a crisis in the family? </li>
<li>Who should take care of the children while Mom and Dad work full-time? A government subsidized day care? An immigrant woman without citizenship papers? </li>
<li>If the reciprocal relationship between the family and the market has broken down, what about the relationship between male and female? Is heterosexuality itself – or, at least, the binary gender order – becoming a nineteenth century anachronism?</li>
</ul>
As well as posing these substantive questions about the family, the market, the state, and the gender order, this book provides a variety of analytic tools for thinking about them. We are used to talking about gender in legal and moral terms, with words like “fairness,” “difference,” and “equality.” We are used to thinking about the family in emotional and psychological terms with words like “love” and “care.” <ul>
<li>What might the language of economics bring to the analysis of family and gender? </li>
<li>The Chicago economist Gary Becker caused a stir when he began to analyze the family as a site of bargaining and negotiation. Was he right that the family is a place of economic power struggle, not just a place where one goes to recover from the harsh world of the market? </li>
<li>If the family is an economic institution, how does that change our picture of its relationship to the “market” as traditionally conceived?</li>

This book provides an always fascinating exploration of culture race, gender and identity in the marketplace, providing a structured conversation about some of the most difficult issues of the economic valuation of culture and indeed the very meaning of cultural subordination. We consider four central questions:
<ul>
<li>Can economic behavior be understood without an attentive account of the cultural context in which economic transactions occur? We criticize the failure of neoclassical economics to integrate explicitly the cultural variables of ordinary life into the models of economic measurement and the assumptions of economic reasoning. We argue that these “thin” models are devoid of the important differences of culture, language, and identity. We identify instead a more complex set of ideas that incorporate culture and its tension with commerce.</li>
<li>What is the impact of racial dominance on the ownership and control of cultural property?</li>
<li>Do the financial arrangements in the entertainment industry determine whether racial and cultural minorities will ever achieve self-sufficiency? We are fascinated by the artists whose labor as musicians, painters, singers, songwriters and actors enrich our daily lives. Yet, these cultural stars often live lives of economic desperation after their turn in the spotlight has ended.</li>
<li>What is the effect of royalty payment systems is and of corporate structures that frequently under compensate, and even cheat these aging stars of the current revenue generated by the contributions they made in their youth?</li>
</ul>
Lastly, attention is given to the dynamics of the market valuation of the human capital components of language, hairstyle, sexual difference, and culturally significant garb. Does control of these modes of expressive autonomy depress the wages and opportunities for advancement of workers who do not choose to assimilate with the dominant culture? More important, are cultural styles associated with subordinated groups so devalued by the majority that non-assimilationists must pay an economic penalty for their personal preference to seek harmony between their inner lives and their outer appearance.

Economics

George Akerlof, 2002 Nobel Laureate in Economics argues that:
 “Neoclassical theory suggests that poverty is the reflection of low initial endowments of human and nonhuman capital. The theory cannot account for persistent and extreme poverty coupled with high incidence of drug and alcohol abuse, out-of-wedlock births, single-headed households, high welfare dependency, and crime."
 This book is designed to provide materials for faculty and students who want to explore the basic intellectual history of modern economics and its turn away from rigid rationality assumptions by including material that would be useful in courses and seminars taught in economics departments at all levels, law school courses and seminars. It looks beyond neoclassical theory to provide the following alternatives: 
<ul>
<li>An introduction to the major challenges to the neoclassical model from scholars who share a faith in market ordering with overviews of the perspectives of behavioral economics, informational economics, institutional economics, and social norms. </li>
<li>An introduction to the major criticisms of neoclassical economics from scholars who reject the model of the market for distributing the basic necessities of life with overviews of the perspectives of humanism; feminist critiques of market theory; racial critiques of market theory; empirical evidence of persistent racial discrimination in major markets; and market socialism.</li>
</ul>
