The shift toward automation is about to create a tsunami of
unemployment. Not in the distant future--now. One recent estimate
predicts 13 million American workers will lose their jobs within
the next seven years-jobs that won't be replaced. In a future
marked by restlessness and chronic unemployment, what will happen
to American society? In The War on Normal People, Andrew Yang
paints a dire portrait of the American economy. Rapidly advancing
technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics and automation
software are making millions of Americans' livelihoods irrelevant.
The consequences are these trends are already being felt across our
communities in the form of political unrest, drug use, and other
social ills. The future looks dire-but is it unavoidable? In The
War on Normal People, Yang imagines a different future -- one in
which having a job is distinct from the capacity to prosper and
seek fulfillment. At this vision's core is Universal Basic Income,
the concept of providing all citizens with a guaranteed income-and
one that is rapidly gaining popularity among forward-thinking
politicians and economists. Yang proposes that UBI is an essential
step toward a new, more durable kind of economy, one he calls
"human capitalism."
