Black Capitalists
A groundbreaking look at how Black visionaries, from Wall Street to Lagos and beyond, are reimagining capitalism to benefit the needs of Black people and, ultimately, everyone.
What if there was a way to thrive within capitalism without diminishing someone else's life chances through exploitative practices? Drawing on Dr. Rachel Laryea's doctoral fieldwork and her years inside the financial industry, Black Capitalists answers that question through the stories of the founders, professionals, and community builders who are already living it.
From corner stores to corner offices, from Brooklyn to Accra, the book traces a quiet revolution in how Black communities are participating in capitalism on their own terms, and what their work can teach all of us about the future of the global economy.
