Dr. Claud Anderson is president of PowerNomics
Corporation of America, Inc., The Harvest Institute and WaterLand Fisheries,
Inc. PowerNomics is a company that publishes his books and
produces multimedia presentations in which he explains his concept,
PowerNomics®. PowerNomics® is the package of principles and strategies he
developed to explain the concept of race and to offer Black America a guide to
become a more economically and politically competitive group in America.
Dr. Anderson’s book, PowerNomics,
incorporates and reflects his past experiences: his academic research, business
experience, both as an owner and a capital provider, and his varied political
positions. He has held the highest positions in federal and state government and
politics. He was State Coordinator of Education for Florida under Governor
Reubin Askew during the tumultuous period of the 1970s. After successful social
reform projects in Florida and leading president Jimmy Carter’s Florida campaign
to a win in the state, Carter appointed Anderson as the Federal Co-Chairman for
a Commission of governors in the southeast states. In that position (rank of
assistant secretary in the U.S. Department of Commerce), he chaired a regional
commission that funded and directed economic development projects for governors
in those states. Anderson headed numerous trade missions to Europe and Third
World countries.
The seafood industry, at that point all wild
catch, was a major sector focus. The projects he funded created jobs and
businesses in the Southeastern states. Anderson has taught at all levels of
education. He was also executive director of two economic development
corporations for the city of Miami, Florida and a major planner and coordinator
for the 1988 Democratic Convention in Atlanta.
As an entrepreneur, Dr. Anderson built WaterLand
Fisheries, Inc. (WFI), a seafood factory he operates on Maryland’s Eastern
Shore, as an example of PowerNomics® principles. WFI has the capacity to produce
a million pounds of live high quality fish annually in a controlled indoor
environment. It is the largest aquaculture facility in Maryland and one of the
largest in the nation. Dr. Anderson had ownership in radio stations including
the one he built and operated in Tallahassee, Florida, retail food outlets and
residential construction.
Dr. Anderson is also president of The Harvest
Institute, a nationally recognized think tank that does research, policy
development, education and advocacy to increase the competitiveness of Black
America. The foundation for Harvest Institute programs are Dr.
Anderson’s books, Black Labor, White Wealth: A
Search for Power and Economic Justice and PowerNomics: The National Plan to
Empower Black America.
Dr. Anderson lectures frequently to business
groups, universities, churches and social organizations on the economic, social
and political solutions he proposes. His books, Black Labor, White
Wealth, PowerNomics: The National
Plan, Dirty Little Secrets about Black
History and his latest book, More Dirty Little Secrets
authored with his son Brant, have all been best sellers, are
widely read throughout the United States and are used as textbooks in many
universities and high schools
