Each chapter unfolds with a gripping intensity that keeps listeners engaged throughout the fourteen hours and forty-five minutes. The audiobook covers critical moments like the rise of predatory lending practices and the devastating impact on Black communities, all delivered with a level of emotional depth that resonates deeply.

Despite this, ‘Fifteen Cents on the Dollar’ is an indispensable resource for anyone navigating America’s racial wealth gap and its enduring legacy.
