From the jacket flap
While the world is much wealthier than it was 100, 50, or even 20 years ago, it is no secret that this wealth has not been distributed equally. Importantly, a racial wealth gap between Black and white communities persists, with Black people having significantly lower net worths than their white counterparts.
In The Opportunity Index, BlackRock Managing Director and co-founder of the #Talkaboutblack movement, Gavin Lewis, insightfully explains the origins of the racial wealth gap and its impact on the inequities facing the Black community today. He weaves a personal and moving narrative with a discussion of some of the most disruptive events of our time, offering a roadmap for businesses and people seeking to understand the risks and opportunities presented by inequality.
The book is an urgent call to action to address the root causes of the racial wealth gap. Lewis outlines the effects of this wealth gap on society, health, and opportunity and provides actionable solutions to address them. The author's perspective goes beyond the typical workplace discussions and explores deeper truths about society and the role of capitalism in perpetuating inequality.
You'll discover lessons from the Black Lives Matter, Me Too, and climate change movements, and how these forms of social activism can provide case studies for real and lasting change.
A startlingly insightful treatment of what equity and access mean in the context of international finance at the highest levels, The Opportunity Index will earn a spot on the bookshelves of finance professionals, business leaders, teachers, community leaders, diversity, equity, and inclusion professionals, and anyone invested in a more fair and just world.
