Economic Affairs

Sector Coverage

The Economic Affairs sector is intended to cover broadly the following economic subsectors: General economic, commercial, and labor affairs; Agriculture, forestry, fishing, and hunting; Fuel and energy; Mining, manufacturing, and construction; Wholesale and retail trade; Transportation; Communications; Financial services; Professional services; and Other service industries not separately identified and covered within the remaining eight sectors covered by this LTSPFBA.

Dr. Brooks Robinson provides oversight for this sector.

Latest Developments

While the LTSPFBA does not discuss Black American Reparations in detail (see page 4 of the LTSPFBA), the volume acknowledges the importance of Reparations, indicates that the volume embodies all the tools required to utilize Reparations resources once received, states that a separate plan is required to secure Reparations, and invites other to undertake the development of such a Reparations plan. Recently, a new pocketbook was produced that outlines a strategy for securing Reparations on a short- to medium-term basis: A 2024-2029 Strategic Plan for Securing Black American (Afrodescendant) Reparations.

Important Information

Recently, Dr. Brooks Robinson prepared the following essay that discusses a rapidly emerging threat to our economic wellbeing–especially when we engage in digital economic transactions. Please consider: Kamala Harris and the Unending Onslaught of Economic Attacks Against Black Americans.”
