About the Book

A groundbreaking look at how Black visionaries--from Wall Street to Lagos and beyond--are reimagining capitalism to benefit the needs of Black people and, ultimately, everyone.

To many, the term "Black Capitalists" is oxymoronic. Black people were the labor force that built the infrastructure of American capitalism through the violent enforcement of legalized slavery, so they cannot, and should not, aspire to be the beneficiaries of it. But, Wall Street professional and Yale-educated anthropologist Dr. Rachel Laryea poses a provocative question: What if there was a way to thrive within capitalism without diminishing someone else's life chances through exploitative practices? There is--and Black Capitalists are showing us how.

Told through Rachel's own compelling narrative, growing up the child of a single mother who immigrated to the U.S. from Ghana, rising to the Ivy league and on Wall Street, with original on-the-ground reporting and rigorous historical analysis, Black Capitalists challenges readers to reconsider who gets to be the beneficiary of capitalism and reckons with the responsibility that comes with using the tools of our imperfect economic system to advance social good.

Dr. Laryea reveals in detail how race profoundly shapes the way we participate in capitalism--and how understanding these differences can guide us towards a more inclusive and equitable future. From newly minted undergraduates who find themselves working 20-hour-days to prove their worth on Wall Street to the Nigerian startup founder working to build a global credit score, innovators who are as ambitious as they are altruistic, spanning the streets of Accra to the boardrooms of Goldman Sachs, the stories and analysis in Black Capitalists demonstrate the resilience, creativity, and ingenuity of Black people who have long been excluded from the full benefits of the American economic system. At its core, Black Capitalists shows a more productive, and more inclusive, way forward.
