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.
Chris Hughes, the "Daily Mirror's" defence correspondent, was the
first western reporter into Iraq after 9/11, the first into
Saddam's secret bunker and the only one to visit Osama bin Laden's
mountain lair. He was also the only western journalist present when
American Marines killed and wounded unarmed demonstrators in
Fallujah, sparking the savage insurgency. He's survived carjackings
and missile attacks, watched mothers weep over the skeletons of
sons dragged from mass graves and joined mercenaries flying crates
of guns out of Baghdad. Hughes has been to every major troublespot
in Iraq in a dozen visits, mixing with the SAS, British mercenaries
and ordinary Iraqis; in "Road Trip To Hell", he tells their stories
with wit and irreverence in a very readable style. He admits he's
no expert on the Middle East - 'I wanted to call this book
"Clueless in Gaza",' he writes, 'but George W Bush rarely invades
places with potential for witty literary allusion' - but he has a
fine eye for detail and black humour and gives a unique insight
into a terrible, crazy war.

Chris Hughes walked away from the sizzling hot, smash hit show Love
Island as its biggest star. Viewers fell in love with this cheeky,
happy-go-lucky guy who surprised people by being unafraid to show
his vulnerable side just as readily as having a laugh with his
mates in the sun. They were captivated by the rollercoaster
relationship between Chris and girlfriend Olivia and entertained by
the bromance that developed between Chris and best pal Kem. But
what really makes Chris tick? What made this down-to-earth country
lad swap life on the farm with his family for red carpets and
newspaper front pages? Chris reveals all about his life before the
hit reality TV show and how the crippling anxiety he has suffered
from before still haunts him to this day. He shares how he has
found fame and adjusted to his new life as well as the things he is
learning about himself as his life is put under the spotlight for
all to see. With his trademark sense of humour and way with words,
this is Chris's take on the world, his life laid bare.

Fire up those neurons, Sparky, and take my hand as we walk down
memory lane, taking a left turn into the decade of excess, and the
music of the 1980's. Why did it take us so long to harness the
power of flickering video images with the stirring sounds that
fired your imagination? MTV launched their initial broadcast with
the Buggles, and went on to amaze us with "Sledgehammer", "Take On
Me", "Addicted To Love" and more visually stunning eye candy than
the human mind could possibly absorb. But, absorb we did. Remember
the first time you saw Boy George dance across your TV screen and
thought, "What the hell is that"? Sure, the song is great, and
catchy as all get-out, but still. And Annie Lennox jumped in from
the other side of the gender scale with a look that was just as
fascinating, and, well, strangely erotic. We're not in Kansas
anymore, Toto, are we? Forty two chart busting hits, no matter how
well chosen and influential, can only begin to scratch the surface
of a decade that launched popular music into overdrive. But, you've
got to admit, this is a really good place to start. Great songs and
stellar artists, sumptuously bound together in a strikingly
illustrated digipak. Tucked inside is a loving essay from
insightful industry veteran Kevin Flaherty, blended together with
evocative rekkid bidness advertising from back in the day. So stack
them high and (umm) watch them fly.
