Question

Melvin oliver and thomas shapiro make a case for _______ as a proactive means of narrowing the wealth gap. residential segregation racially restrictive covenants asset-based social policy race-based channeling

Answer 1

Answer: Asset-based social policy

Asset based social policies facilitate savings and accumulation of financial assets for families that have low income.

Policies like residential segregation, racially restrictive covenants, race-based channeling deny equal opportunities of wealth building to people belonging to other races. Hence, they only serve to increase the wealth gap.
