Hardback. Zustand: Good. How our false narratives about post-racism and meritocracy have been used to condone egregious economic outcomes?and what we can do to fix the system.2024 Axiom Business Book Awards - Silver Medal in EconomicsThe Myth That Made Us exposes how false narratives?of a supposedly post-racist nation, of the self-made man, of the primacy of profit- and shareholder value-maximizing for businesses, and of minimal government interference?have been used to excuse gross inequities and to shape and sustain the US economic system that delivers them.
