Abram Lincoln Harris, Jr. (January 17, 1899 – November 6, 1963) was an American economist, academic, anthropologist and a social critic of blacks in the United States. Considered by many as the first African American to achieve prominence in the field of economics, Harris was also known for his heavy influence on black radical and neo-conservative thought in the United States. As an economist, Harris is most famous for his 1931 collaboration with political scientist Sterling Spero to produce a study on African American labor history titled ''The Black Worker'' and his 1936 work ''The Negro as Capitalist'', in which he criticized black businessmen for not promoting interracial trade.〔 He headed the economics department at Howard University from 1936 to 1945 and taught at the University of Chicago from then until his death. As a social critic, Harris took an active radical stance on racial relations by examining historical black involvement in the workplace, and suggested that African Americans needed to take more action in race relations.〔 ==Early life== Harris was born into a middle-class African American family on January 17, 1899 in Richmond, Virginia. His father was a butcher at a meat shop, and his mother was a schoolteacher.〔 The family that ran the Richmond meat shop where Harris' father worked was German American. As a result of his frequent contact with the family, Harris learned German and became a fluent speaker of the language. Harris' mastery of the language would help him later in life, when he examined the writings of German economists and social reformers like Karl Marx.〔 He attended Virginia Union University, graduating in 1922 with a Bachelor of Science degree. Harris went on to earn an M.A. in economics from the University of Pittsburgh in 1924.〔 It was his masters' thesis, ''The Negro Laborer in Pittsburgh'', that started his lifelong examination on the African American labor forces
