The War on Normal People
The Truth About America's Disappearing Jobs and Why Universal Basic Income Is Our Future
Recommendation
Tech entrepreneur Andrew Yang attended elite colleges and held high-ranking positions, but he isn’t especially impressed with himself. As Yang tells it, he’s just really good at taking standardized tests, a trait that led to his Ivy League pedigree. In this engaging book – a cut above the usual political fodder – he describes an increasingly Darwinian US economy that, he says, demands a universal basic income for all Americans. Yang offers here, in more detail than he was able to communicate as a candidate in the 2020 US presidential race, a vision that might win him new supporters.
