The Color of Money: Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap — Credit, Risk, and Structural Exclusion (Audio)
Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world — one book at a time.
This episode explores The Color of Money: Black Banks and the Racial Wealth Gap by Mehrsa Baradaran as a systems-level analysis of how policy-backed banking, insurance, and housing finance shaped wealth accumulation—and why the racial wealth gap can persist even after formal segregation ends.
By focusing on patterns rather than individuals, the episode shows why these systems persist—even when their consequences are widely recognized.
