Notably: During a recent visit to Volusia Mall, I caught a peek of the business above, which is one of my favorite images there. Mike was usually hunkered over behind the counter, always busy: no Kenneth FearingI felt like I was walking through a page of a story by Bernard Malamud set in 1940s New York as I read Big Clock Ruminations for him. Since we live in a throwaway society (who recalls the Macarena or cabbage patch dolls anymore?), you don’t think of watch or shoe repairmen anymore. And when did a watch repairwoman ever exist? By the time it became outdated, she never had time to get into the field. The long marbled avenue of Volusia Mall, which is little used now save by mall-goers who exercise outside, its abandoned storefronts that linger in the distance, and its weird shops like Mike’s Watch Repair that are still open, all give off an unseen sense of melancholy. Mike, however, appeared to be doing well. In the few minutes we passed by, we had three customers—not bad for a Friday night. Time wears things down. Additionally, it still occasionally cries out for repair from a craftsman who is not all that dissimilar from a surgeon in spirit: it’s all an effort to fix the mall, the clock, and the body as we head for the exit, only to hear a nearby siren yelp for a brief moment to remind one, if he had forgotten, of the dangerous state of the world (to quote an actual line from Malamud).

America has become one of the most unequal countries in the world. Currently, the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans hold well over a third of the nation’s wealth, while the richest 10 percent own over 75 percent.92 Slavery and its aftermath are the origins of many of the political institutions, legal frameworks, cultural norms, and economic systems that sustain and encourage this degree of inequality. American capitalism was founded on the lowest road possible, which is one reason why it encourages a certain kind of low-road capitalism today—a union-busting capitalism of poverty wages, gig jobs, and normalized insecurity; a winner-take-all capitalism of stunning disparities that not only permits but also rewards financial rule-bending; a racist capitalism that ignores the fact that slavery not only denied Black freedom but also built white fortunes, creating the Black-white wealth gap that widens every year.
