Marie - It may or may not be "eminently suitable" for "mathematical 
formulation and formal diagramming," but an important question is whether 
it is at all suitable for the analysis of racial inequality. (You may get 
hints for 
developing a formal model and constructing diagrams yourself from the 
formal treatments of Kaldor's work on cumulative causation--see his papers 
on slow growth in the U.K. and the work of Thirlwall and his students.)  
You might look at the critiques of Myrdal: start with the ones by Oliver 
Cromwell Cox in _Caste, Class, and Race_ (and excerpted in Darity's edited 
volumes on _The Economics of Discrimination_) and Stephen Steinberg in 
_Turning Back: The Retreat From Racial Justice in American Thought and 
Policy_.
