In the 1920s, racial and gender discrimination prevented Sadie Alexander, our nation’s first Black economist, from gaining employment as an economist. In this talk, Professor Nina Banks discusses her archival recovery of the intellectual thought of Sadie Alexander - a “pragmatic visionary” whose critique of systemic racial oppression against African-Americans and prescient observations about threats to the rule of law remain critical to our political economy.
