Please stop helping us: How liberals make it harder for blacks to succeed | LIVE STREAM

Описание: Have progressive policies aimed at improving the prospects of black people in America worked?

Have noble intentions borne fruit, or have they harmed intended beneficiaries?

Please join The Wall Street Journal’s Jason Riley and AEI poverty scholar Robert Doar for a conversation about Riley’s recent book, “Please Stop Helping Us: How Liberals Make It Harder for Blacks to Succeed” (Encounter Books, 2014). The two will explore several well-intentioned social programs and legal efforts, including affirmative action, minimum-wage laws, soft-on-crime legislation, and policies aimed at limiting school choice.

They will explore the demonstrated track record of such programs, and which policies could be most effective at helping black people in America move up.
