Building on the legal distinction between liability (responsibility for causing harm) and remedy (the repair of harm), this book argues that, although societyOs past conduct is responsible for causing racial inequality, there are few effective steps society can now take to close persisting racial gaps. Present disparities are mainly due to dysfunctional behaviors, not discrimination, and these can only be addressed through self-help and internal cultural reform.
