Description
Summary:This piece is a review of the heralded book, Race for Profit: How Banks and the Real Estate Industry Undermined Black Homeownership (2019, The University of North Carolina Press).

We first highlight important and relevant sections of the book, then discuss lessons for social equity and public administration.
