by James Clingman (Author)

The latest offering from the nation's most prolific writer on economic empowerment for Black people, Clingman's fifth book on the subject, aptly describes the dominant-submissive relationship between economics and politics, respectively. It contains stark and sometimes biting commentary, statistical data, and documentary information, with thought-provoking quotations sprinkled throughout. Beginning with the run-up to the U.S. presidential election in 2007, and ending with practical tactics and strategies for economic and political success heading into the 2016 election, Black Dollars Matter is a searchlight to find solutions; it is also a spotlight that illuminates the way forward-and it definitely admonishes us to "teach our dollars how to make more sense."
