The Sum of Us
What Racism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together
Book • 2021
In 'The Sum of Us,' Heather McGhee explores the pervasive impact of racism on American society, arguing that it is a systemic issue that harms not only people of color but also white people.
She documents how policies and practices rooted in racism have led to economic disparities, such as student debt, housing crises, and lack of accessible healthcare.
McGhee also introduces the concept of the 'Solidarity Dividend,' which suggests that gains can be achieved when people come together across racial lines.
Through personal stories, historical examples, and economic research, McGhee presents a compelling case for why addressing racism is essential for the prosperity of all Americans.
