Historia
Why is it that so many efforts by liberals to lift the Black underclass not only fail, but often harm the intended beneficiaries? In Please Stop Helping Us, Jason L. Riley examines how well-intentioned welfare programs are in fact holding Black Americans back. Minimum-wage laws may lift earnings for people who are already employed, but they price a disproportionate number of Blacks out of the labor force. Affirmative action in higher education is intended to address past discrimination, but the result is fewer Black college graduates than would otherwise exist.

Compelling, rational, data supported analysis of liberal policies
Revisado: 02-05-21
In the past year I’ve read books by activists attempting to structure an argument of systemic racism supported largely by emotional personal stories and misused misleading data. At best, those books created confusion and guilt without giving concrete ideas on how to move toward a better outcome. Jason L. Riley’s book on the other hand gathers evidence from empirical studies, hard data, and references well known economists and intellectuals like Thomas Sowell to show that many of the well intentioned policies have not only failed to improve results for blacks living in poverty but in some cases have actually made it harder for them to break out. An example is the increased unemployment rates caused with minimum wage
Increases and the slowdown of growth rates in income that came after implementation of post Jim Crow social programs. If you’re going to read Kendi, Oluo or even Di Angelo, also expose yourself to books like this and you’ll find yourself closer to the truth.
