NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • One of today’s most insightful and influential thinkers offers a powerful exploration of inequality and the lesson that generations of Americans have failed to learn: Racism has a cost for everyone—not just for people of color. “This is the book I’ve been waiting for.”—Ibram X. Kendi, #1 New York Times bestselling author of How to Be an Antiracist Heather McGhee’s specialty is the American economy—and the mystery of why it so often fails the American public. From the financial crisis to rising student debt to collapsing public infrastructure, she found a common root problem: racism. But not just in the most obvious indignities for people of color. Racism has costs for white people, too. It is the common denominator of our most vexing public problems, the core dysfunction of our democracy and constitutive of the spiritual and moral crises that grip us all. But how did this happen? And is there a way out? McGhee embarks on a deeply personal journey across the country from Maine to Mississippi to California, tallying what we lose when we buy into the zero-sum paradigm—the idea that progress for some of us must come at the expense of others. Along the way, she meets white people who confide in her about losing their homes, their dreams, and their shot at better jobs to the toxic mix of American racism and greed. This is the story of how public goods in this country—from parks and pools to functioning schools—have become private luxuries; of how unions collapsed, wages stagnated, and inequality increased; and of how this country, unique among the world’s advanced economies, has thwarted universal healthcare. But in unlikely places of worship and work, McGhee finds proof of what she calls the Solidarity Dividend: gains that come when people come together across race, to accomplish what we simply can’t do on our own. The Sum of Us is a brilliant analysis of how we arrived here: divided and self-destructing, materially rich but spiritually starved and vastly unequal. McGhee marshals economic and sociological research to paint an irrefutable story of racism’s costs, but at the heart of the book are the humble stories of people yearning to be part of a better America, including white supremacy’s collateral victims: white people themselves. With startling empathy, this heartfelt message from a Black woman to a multiracial America leaves us with a new vision for a future in which we finally realize that life can be more than a zero-sum game.

The Sum of Us by Heather McGhee kind of knocked my socks off! This is not a quick read, but a take your time, dig deep and listen type of read. There is so much information in this book that I would not advise anyone to try and consume it in one sitting - I took my time, and let each chapter resonate properly before moving on to the next.Heather McGhee uses her experience as an expert in economy and law in this deep and personal research journey into the foundations and continuation of the racist policies that still govern the US, to portray how these policies affect all of us negatively. She talks about the zero-sum paradigm, the idea that one group must progress at the expense of others, and shows exactly what is at stake when we accept this paradigm. I really appreciate how the author brings her deep knowledge of the American economy and pairs it with sociological research and history from around the country to prove just how much we have lost and will continue to lose because of racism and white supremacy. I also really appreciated the stories that the author gathers from around the country, they really help to illustrate the main arguments of the story.My review really cannot do justice to this book - it is full of so much important information through a lens that will have you thinking and reacting long after you put the book down.An absolute anti-racist must read!
