Reparations for Black Communities through Education Reform
In the article by Jimenez and Glater (2020), the lit review section is organized thematically. It leads to the development and discussion of the research questions by providing the foundation or framework for the way in which the researchers approach the problem of education reform for black communities. The methodology is not clearly identified, but instead the literature is used to support the approach taken, with ample footnotes throughout. The basic apparent philosophy is that the approach is valid because it is arguing a point of view just like a lawyer would do in a court of law. The methodology and literature are thus really one part of the whole approach.
The lit review supports the arguments by providing references and sources to show that the researchers are not basing their claims on their own opinions or feelings but rather on the facts and existing evidence to date. The arguments that the authors are trying to convince the reader to accept are that debt for higher education is a disadvantage for black communities and that it serves to marginalize and oppress this community; thus, reform is needed. Moreover, the authors convinced me that this reform is needed because otherwise blacks will continue to be disadvantaged in America and not have the same opportunity to become middle class that whites have.
It does contain important review articles that I would want to obtain and read, such as The Price of Opportunity: Race, Student Loan Debt, and College Achievement by Jackson and Reynolds (2013), and The Labor Market Returns to a ForProfit College Education by Cellini and Chaudhary (2012). These would be helpful in deepening my understanding of these issues more fully.

Debt and Credit Financing While there are general rules that each company can rely on to help it determine the best strategies for determining how to finance its short-term and long-term goals. However, as this analysis shows, each company must make financing decisions based on its specific needs and market position. Companies exist to make money. However, in order to be able to create the products or services with which they can
.....debt and equity has a number of different implications, including some significant tax implications. Debt is repaid from earnings prior to taxation, where equity payouts typically occur on an after-tax basis. This is because debt repayments take priority over the payment of dividends or even to stock buybacks or retained earnings. Debt capital is thus repaid before the company is taxed -- debt lowers taxable income. Thus, debt will also
Debt vs. equity financing As its name implies, debt financing involves borrowing money from a bank, individual, or company, with a promise to pay back the principle with interest. Any organization can make use of debt financing, spanning from a small single proprietorship to a large multinational. The owner of the business retains control over the organization and the only responsibility he or she has to the lender is to make
Debt financing tends to have a lower cost than equity financing and is often easier to acquire. However, because debt financing represents a fixed obligation in terms of interest and repayment, it increases the risk of the firm. Thus, some amount of equity financing is ideal with respect to keeping the firm's risk level within reason. The level of risk a firm should have will vary depending on a number
When the economy suddenly has more money circulating around there is the threat of inflation. "The Federal Reserve is expected to hold its main short-term interest rate at a 45-year low of 1% at its last meeting of the year in December, as well as into part of 2004, economists predict. Holding short-term rates at such low levels might motivate consumers and businesses to spend and invest more, something that
A third financing option is preference shares, one of whose principal qualitative advantages is no diminution management's interest in corporate growth or voting power (assuming that non-voting preferred stock issued). Also, any new equity sale requires the company to offer shares to preferred stockholders first to maintain their pro rata interest. This limits the flexibility to bring in new shareholders to influence operation systems. Meanwhile, preferred stock is always subject
