Black Liberation Through the Marketplace

Ferguson and Witcher take an unconventional approach to America's racial history, centering their analysis not on failure but on resilience. Drawing on the classical liberal tradition, the authors challenge readers across the political spectrum to confront uncomfortable truths: conservatives must grapple with how property rights and economic freedom were systematically denied to Black Americans, while progressives must reckon with the paternalism embedded in many well-intentioned policies. The result is a substantive, rigorous argument that the marketplace, properly freed and fairly applied, holds genuine promise for Black liberation.
