Summary
An exposé of racism in the American taxation system. In this book the author draws on decades of cross-disciplinary research to show that tax law is not as colour-blind as she'd once believed. The author introduces the reader to families across the economic spectrum whose stories demonstrate how American tax law rewards the preferences and practices of white people while pushing black people further behind. From attending college to getting married to buying a home, black Americans find themselves at a financial disadvantage compared to their white peers. The results are an ever-increasing wealth gap and more black families shut out of the American dream
