...paper. In the inflated, crisis-ridden economy of post-World War I Europe, no financier intended to go broke building glass towers and ideal suburbs that nobody wanted to live in.

For example, he traces the current class distinctions among blacks to the old divisions between house slaves and field slaves, then peremptorily concludes that the reason why blacks rarely succeed in business is that "they don't quite like each other." In a later chapter, he notes that blacks do make skilled surgeons, perhaps, he adds, "because they have especially deft and agile hands...
