Economics: The Black American Investment Fund (Rebroadcast)
Wednesday Mar 19, 2025
Wednesday Mar 19, 2025
In this week’s show we discuss the possibility of starting the Black American Investment Fund.
From 40, 000 feet, what will it take to get this investment fund up and running? What would it look like structurally? How will it be managed and what will be its strategy? We try to evaluate the feasibility of realizing this lofty ambition. We will also discuss Reparations and what we believe should be done with it. Spreading the funding for this fund across, and for the Black American, would contribute to the coalescence of our group.
