Racial Capitalism

“Racial capitalism” is a concept that examines the ways in which racial oppression and economic exploitation are interconnected within the capitalist system. The term is associated with the work of Cedric J. Robinson, who argued that capitalism is inherently racial. According to Robinson capitalism has historically relied on racial differentiation and hierarchy to sustain and justify the exploitation of labor and natural resources.
