Tulsa became black wall street because there was a concious effort to keep money in the community. A dollar would change hands a dozen times before leaving. The spinning wheel on India's flag is symbolic of Ghandi promoting Indians making their own clothes to remove dependence on British textiles.
I think the problem is the managerial state won't allow people to easily invest in their own communities, since it directly threatens power. The people have accepted that the government can arbitrarily shut down whatever it wants.
I wouldn't want to lionise Ghandi's economic policies (or anything about him to be honest but that's another discussion). His autarkic and economically traditionalist pushing kept India impoverished for decades and was part of what made it worse off for so long than it had been under British rule.
Honestly this was figured out as soon as slavery ended. Booker T Washington told those niggas to cast down their bucket, and even made himself an example of how to do it. But they've routinely disregarded it more and more as time goes on. Kind of doubt that's going to change any time soon.
True, the best way for the black community to get help is from within, but I also don't see that happening anytime soon lol

Ghandi wasn't good for material wealth, but he did achieve his political goals.
