Summary: <p>Heartland’s Tim Benson is joined by Jason L. Riley, senior fellow of the Manhattan Institute and member of the <em>Wall Street Journal’s </em>editorial board, to discuss <em>The Black Boom</em>. They discuss how the Trump Administration’s free-market economic policies improved the economic fortunes of blacks to an extent that has not been seen for generations, and why Trump has a far better record on that score than Barack Obama. They also talk, among other things, about immigration, minimum wage laws, and what is the way forward in advancing the economic progress of black Americans.</p> <p><strong>Get the book here: </strong><a href="https://templetonpress.org/books/the-black-boom/">https://templetonpress.org/books/the-black-boom/</a></p> <p><strong>Show Notes:</strong></p> <p><em>Wall Street Journal</em>: Jason L.
