Description
Never Together: The Economic History of a Segregated America provides a comprehensive economic analysis of how segregation has fundamentally structured American development. Peter Temin demonstrates that racial and economic segregation were not merely social phenomena but core drivers of economic growth and inequality.
Through rigorous economic analysis, Temin traces how segregation created distinct economic systems that benefited some while systematically disadvantaging others. The book examines critical periods in American history, from the post-Civil War era through the twentieth century, revealing how segregation policies shaped labor markets, wealth accumulation, and regional development.
This groundbreaking work contributes to New Economic Thinking by challenging conventional narratives and revealing segregation’s central role in American economic history. Essential reading for understanding how historical inequalities continue to influence contemporary economic structures.
