    The document discusses how racial discrimination against black workers has negatively impacted economies by reducing aggregate production, income, and growth. It argues that higher unemployment and underemployment of black workers, as well as gaps in their human capital development compared to other workers, have significant economic costs. The analyses estimate that longstanding prejudice against blacks in Brazil, South Africa, and the United States has substantially decreased productivity and income in those nations.

    Capitalism & Racial Discrimination

    GDP Increases from Ending Long-Term Discrimination Against Blacks by Jonas Zoninsein discusses the

    political economy of racial discrimination, arguing that labor market discrimination against blacks, their

    higher-than-average levels of unemployment and underemployment, and their gap in human capital

    accumulation relative to the labor force as a whole all have an impact on aggregate production, income,

    and national economic growth. According to Zoninsein's assessments of the effects of racial

    discrimination, long-standing prejudice against blacks has had a considerable negative impact on

    productivity and income in Brazil, South Africa, and the United States.

    The Journal offers qualitative comparative studies and cross-national comparative history, in particular,

    to give a dynamic interplay of class and race that has transformed the variables that account for

    difference, as well as resemblance, between the United States and South Africa.
