O'Flaherty, Brendan, 1951-

The economics of race in the United States / Brendan O'Flaherty. - 478 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 435-460) and index.

Brendan O’Flaherty brings the tools of economic analysis—incentives, equilibrium, optimization—to bear on racial issues. From health care, housing, and education, to employment, wealth, and crime, he shows how racial differences powerfully determine American lives, and how progress in one area is often constrained by diminishing returns in another.
