Something's Not Kosher about Davis-Bacon

(David Bernstein)

That's the subtitle Reason Magazine editors gave to this journalistic piece I wrote back in 1991 about the discriminatory origins and effects of the Davis-Bacon Act.  Reason recently posted it online, and I'm pleased to see that it holds up pretty well.  I explored the anti-black origins of Davis-Bacon in far more detail in a chapter of my book, Only One Place of Redress.
