Description
The Sum of Us: What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together by Heather McGhee. In this thought-provoking exploration, economist Heather McGhee sets out to understand why white voters often act against their own interests. She examines the economic evidence behind racism and reveals a surprising truth: even those who hold racist views can lose out under a system of white supremacy. McGhee argues that US racism is not just an issue for people of colour, but a problem that affects everyone. Through her research, McGhee sheds light on how prejudice can have far-reaching consequences, from the 2008 financial crisis to global climate change. She invites readers to consider the impact of their own biases and to think about how they can work together to create a more equitable society. This book offers a valuable insight into the workings of prejudice and a timely call for solidarity among all humans. Heather McGhee's powerful analysis challenges us to rethink our assumptions about racism and its effects on individuals and society as a whole.
