How creating and supporting small businesses can shrink the wealth gap
Over decades, white families on average have accumulated about eight times the net worth of Black families. And about five times the assets of Hispanic families. These differences in family wealth are often attributed to homeownership, and reliable, union-supported jobs.
But a family business can also create opportunities for the next generation.
Guest host Chris Farrell explored how small businesses owned by Black, Latino and Indigenous people can build wealth and how consumers can transform their charitable contributions into spending to better support small businesses.
