Data and Code for: Setting the record straight

The racial wealth gap in the United States is the
object of much misrepresentation and misunderstanding. Our paper is intended to
provide a corrective. We will address how the mainstream economic view of the drivers of
racial disparities in wealth is a human capital view that promotes anti-Black
and personal responsibility narratives while ignoring
the significance of the racially uneven transmission of resources across
generations. It also fails to acknowledge the cumulative impact of
U.S. racial history on present wealth gaps.
