Scraping By, Economic Tyranny, and the American Dream - Preston Henry Andrew Scott (aka Isma'il ibn Bilal)
In his book Scraping By, Seth Rockman identifies that the position held by contemporary Americans concerned with economic social justice is neither radical nor progressive. Rockman examines the history of the early Republic, in particular the City of Baltimore, thereby revealing the political-economic tension between those who controlled capital, those who contracted their labor or the labor of their slaves, and how said tension was mitigated.
