America's low savings rate

[Forstater, Mathew]

Work on reparations has shown that relatively small amounts of moolah
(like a couple thousand bucks) can have big effects on people's lives,
in terms of things like owning a home, starting a small business, or
furthering education or training.  See, e.g., Darity's piece in last
year's THE STATE OF BLACK AMERICA.
