Abstract
The Negro economy is essentially an isolated economy. It may be likened to a small economic area set off within the interior of the general economic system of the nation, surrounded by towering walls of racial segregation and discrimination. Inward through the small portals in this wall, which form the openings to and from the outer world, pass long lines of imports—merchandise, equipment, supplies, and even a little capital—but outward moves a slender line of exports, chiefly wage labor and a large share of the profits of Negro business.
