Blackonomics: The Way to Psychological and Economic Freedom for African Americans

by James Clingman

In his provocative new book, Blackonomic$: The Way To Psychological and Economic Freedom For African Americans, James Clingman disputes long-accepted tactics aimed at gaining economic empowerment for Blacks. Clingman believes that economic clout holds greater sway than political, that Blacks must first help themselves before reaching out to help others, and that Blacks should stop counting “firsts” and says instead, "...call me when the number reaches 1,000.” Blackonomic$ is a must-read for Black leaders and organizers of every stripe.

For those wondering... there are solutions out here, the issue is that we are feed lies that we are only victims in this Corrupt-oration! The fact is that we are the answer to our own problems, as a collective we are a force to be reckon with. This book gives a solid history of the "successful" efforts made generation after generation, it gives us a way back to our greatness. Economic development is not just a means to financial gain it is a recipe for Nation building! We can do this and Baba Clingman proves to us how! This is a must read for all those who doubt our collective power it is truly an inspiration, and you will find your power in these pages. Being that I am a native of Cincinnati it gives me much pride to have this gem here in our very own city. We must take more advantage of his teachings, he is more then a talker, and walker he is a fore runner! Enjoy
