In the last ten years, the familiar boundaries of the political debate on the US have been challenged by a convergence of arguments about racial justice, economics and inequality. This conjunction in its contemporary form dates back to the early 2010s when the ferment in economic debates in the aftermath of 2008 and the differential impact of that crisis on black and latino households, coincided with the election of Barack Obama, the Occupy movement, which spawned the 1 percent v. 99 percent discourse, the upsurge in interest in inequality supercharged by the success of Thomas Piketty’s book and the eruption of Black Lives Matter in July 2013.
One of the other things that they won't tell you is that, at the time of his death, MLK was in bad odor among liberals because of his opposition to American imperialism in general and the Vietnam War in particular.
Is there analysis on the specific drivers of unemployment rate differentials by race? For example how does adjusting for educational attainment change the above graph? Would be helpful to understand more discretely the impacts of systemic racism factors, idiosyncratic racism, and other explanatory factors that could more clearly inform policy.
Carbon markets are not the same critter as carbon pricing. Carbon markets are usually associated with cap and trade, via setting a price for site-selectively offsetting carbon emissions. Sites can be skewed by racial and class make up. In contrast carbon pricing can be achieved by way of carbon taxes or some related levy on GHG pollutants (think Carbon SuperFund). This leads to very different choice pathways than cap + trade (or even worse, carbon offsets).
I'm wondering all the same if there aren't some parallels (without the racial dimension) in France with the gilets jaunes protests to Macron's proposed carbon pricing in 2018-19.
