Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes makes the case that one percenters
like him should pay their fortune forward in a radically simple
way: a guaranteed income for working people The first half of Chris
Hughes' life followed the perfect arc of the American Dream. He
grew up in a small town in North Carolina. His parents were people
of modest means, but he was accepted into an elite boarding school
and then Harvard, both on a scholarship. There, he met Mark
Zuckerberg and Dustin Moskovitz and became one of the co-founders
of Facebook. In telling his story, Hughes demonstrates the powerful
role fortune and luck play in today's economy. Through the
rocket-ship rise of Facebook, Hughes came to understand how a
select few can become ultra-wealthy nearly overnight. He believes
the same forces that made Facebook possible have made it harder for
everyone else in America to make ends meet. To help people who are
struggling, Hughes proposes a simple, bold solution: a guaranteed
income for working people, including unpaid caregivers and
students, paid for by the one percent. Hughes believes that a
guaranteed income is the most powerful tool we have to combat
poverty. Money - cold hard cash with no strings attached - gives
people freedom, dignity and the ability to climb the economic
ladder. A guaranteed income for working people is the big idea
that's missing. This book, grounded in Hughes' personal experience,
will start a frank conversation about how we earn, how we can
combat income inequality, and ultimately, how we can give everyone
a fair shot.
