Short Money

Looking for content that digs deeper into the catastrophe that is bearing down on America? 

To paraphrase Chairman Fred Hamption, if you want answers that indeed answer, explanations that explain, and conclusions that conclude, tune in each Thursday to Short Money: Dissecting Racial Capitalism at 2 PM Eastern on WPFW 89.3 in the nation’s capital.

Secondly, why are Africans everywhere– both on the continent and across the diaspora—poor, either in absolute terms or relative to other demographic groups?

And lastly, will the West ever realize that increasing the buying power for 50 million African Americans and 1.6 billion continental Africans will imbue both the U.S. and the global economy with the jet fuel it needs for takeoff?
