Thanks to the SHOE notification, I read Prasch's paper with interest and gratitude; it inspired the following blog post:

Readers might want
to know that the paper on Du Bois was written by Robert
Prasch and came out in the Fall 2008 issue. Du
Bois’
The Philadelphia Negro is indeed a remarkable piece
of work very much in the line of the Social Survey
movement.

Colleagues,
From the DuBois Review:
W. E. B. DU BOIS'S CONTRIBUTIONS TO U.S. ECONOMICS
(1893–1910)
As a graduate student, Du Bois studied with two of the most
important figures within what is today remembered as the
German historical school of economics—Gustav Schmoller
and Adolf Wagner. By taking seriously Du Bois's early
ambitions in the field of economics,
and rereading his early work as a social scientist in the
context of early twentieth-century economic thought, the
following article makes the case that Du Bois should be
credited with having made several important contributions to
U.S. economics. The article
suggests that our failure to remember Du Bois as an
economist is a joint consequence of two independent causes.
The first is the racist attitudes of the U.S. academy of his
time that simply would not accept a highly qualified African
American as a colleague.
The second is the sweeping changes that have so profoundly
modified the method, form, and substance of U.S. economics
over the past century.
