Homework 1: The 4 C’s of Political Economy

In 2015, 12% of white children under 18 lived in poverty in the United States while 36% of black children under 18 lived in poverty.

Use two of the 4 C’s of political economy and an element of the matrix of oppression to articulate why this disparity exists.

Excellent responses will:

• Define course concepts and apply them to the statement.
• Tell a clear story by connecting concepts (rather than just listing each separately).
• Be well edited.
