dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this paper is to offer three teaching plans in the economics of racial discrimination. It is shown that mainstream textbooks do not adequately capture the key ideas in the economics of racism. They delineate the anachronistic Becker model of discrimination. Resources like the Komlos textbook or the CORE Insight on Racial Inequality offer better alternatives on addressing systemic racism. This paper suggests how to incorporate Disney video clips from The Princess and The Frog; offers key ideas from the economics of incarceration; and discusses pluralist perspectives in the interest of advancing economic pluralism and decolonizing economics.
