Analysis Brief: “The Economics of Marriage and Family” (April 22, 2026) (341 KB) [TEOMAF042226ALA1.pdf] This Analysis Brief models fundamental and very important practices for marriage and the formation of powerful (nuclear) families that can be developed and maintained in an economically efficient manner. We highlight actions that help avoid unproductive costs at all costs. Seven common and unproductive costs that can be extraordinarily pernicious and that can be avoided are explored so that Black families/households can master methods for optimizing our Net Family Income.
“The Weak Bear the Burden of the Strong”
Yesterday’s April 15th “Tax Day” and today’s world of anomalies cloud and confuse expectations built on yesteryear with current realities that cause our world to appear upside down. Certain situations can cause us to conclude that our world seems inverted. This BlackEconomics.org brief essay entitled, “The Weak Bear the Burden of the Strong” is a case in point that serves as a perfect reminder that what is considered beautiful and rational often depends on the beholder.
“Reasons for Black American Leadership Failures”
The purpose of this Analysis Brief is to sharpen Black American (Afrodescendant) recognition of evolving change with “leadership,” and to emphasize the necessity of adopting new perspectives on what “leadership” is and what it means now and will mean in our new technological world. Technology can enable the best leadership—actually, non-leadership where each person has a say in decision-making as opposed to relying on “representatives” to make favorable decisions on their behalf. You may read a “Summary” of the 13-page Analysis Brief, or you may read the Analysis Brief in its entirety.
A New View on Black Americans’ Losses via the U.S. Economic Game
This analysis brief explores a new view on Black America’s “losing” role in the U.S. economic game: Operational losses for Black Americans (Afrodescendants) based on well-known inequality metrics; the theft trade (pickpockets, gangs, thugs, and the mafia); and Black American economic losses through administrative (the capture of administrative records to reassign ownership of financial and nonfinancial assets, patents, trademarks, and artistic originals, designs, and novel operating systems and procedures) and commercial operations.
“Black Americans’ Mobility Trap”
This Research Analysis Brief brings a topic to the surface about which not much is heard. We mainly hear about the nearly magical benefits of technology and artificial intelligence with seldom a word concerning wide ranging and pernicious problems within certain technological systems broadly. In this case, we discuss information and communications technology (mobility) systems, emphasize their nightmarish nature, and discuss how related solutions are tightly linked to a fundamental requirement to reorient our society from a Western World (capitalist) mentality to an “Afrikan” centric mindset.
“‘Group Economics’ for Black Americans (Afrodescendants)” explores a popular topic that has seldom, if ever, been explored formally. It defines the “group economics” concept, assesses its benefits, and formulates a metric for measurement. The state of Black Americans’ “group economics” as roughly estimated, helps clarify the extent of our economic weakness, the current level of intergroup inequality in the US, and it adds weighty justification to our Reparations demand/claim.
When the BlackEconomics.org website was first developed in 2005, it included a page entitled Long-Term and Strategic Plan (LTSP) for Black America. In 2008 we made an appeal for the development of an LTSP. However, the goal of developing such a plan was not achieved until 2022 and 2023, when a “grassroots” LTSP Panel produced a Long-Term Strategic Plan for Black America. BlackEconomics.org’s chief contributors participated as members of the LTSP Panel. At a minimum, please consider the Executive Summary.
In support of the Long-Term Strategic Plan for Black America’s (LTSPFBA) Implementation Team, BlackEconomics.org presents a new “LTSPFBA Infomercial” for your consideration [returning soon]. This Infomercial was developed for the LTSPFBA IT by Pastor Victoria Brady, Director of the ABJ Civic Arts Center and Leader of Restoring Hope Ministries, and by Mr. Priestly J. Williams of Chicago, Illinois.
