In his provocative new book, Blackonomic$: The Way To Psychological and Economic Freedom For African Americans, James Clingman disputes long-accepted tactics aimed at gaining economic empowerment for Blacks. Clingman believes that economic clout holds greater sway than political, that Blacks must first help themselves before reaching out to help others, and that Blacks should stop counting "firsts" and says instead, "...call me when the number reaches 1,000." Blackonomic$ is a must-read for Black leaders and organizers of every stripe.
