This powerful 288-page book analyzes the complex web of racial monopolies and Black America’s inappropriate behavior patterns that are driving it into a permanent underclass status. Dr. Anderson proposes new concepts that teach Blacks new ways to see, think, and behave in race matters. His new education, political and economic action steps are designed to make Black America self-sufficient and competitive.

PowerNomics: The National Plan to Empower Black America is a five-year plan to make Black America a prosperous and empowered race that is self-sufficient and competitive as a group. In this book, Dr. Anderson obliterates the myths and illusions of Black progress and brings together data and information from many different sources to construct a framework for solutions to the dilemma of Black America.

In PowerNomics: The National Plan, Dr. Anderson proposes new principles, strategies and concepts that show Blacks a new way to see, think, and behave in race matters. The new mindset prepares Blacks to take strategic steps to create a new reality for their race. It offers guidance to others who support Blacks’ self-sufficiency.

In this book, Dr. Anderson offers insightful analysis and action steps Blacks can take to redesign core areas of life—Education, Economics, Politics and Religion—to better benefit their race. The action steps in each area require new empowerment tools that Dr. Anderson presents – a new group vision and a new culture of empowerment – tools designed to counter, if not break many of the racial monopolies in society. Vertical integration and industrializing black communities are other major concepts and strategies that he presents in the book. He places a great deal of importance on building industries in Black communities that are constructed upon group competitive advantages.
