The War on Normal People - by Andrew Yang (Paperback)This item is not available

The War on Normal People by Andrew Yang is a thought-provoking and timely book that sheds light on the looming threat of automation and its impact on American society.

Yang, a former Democratic presidential candidate and CNN political commentator, paints a dire portrait of the economy and its potential to create a tsunami of unemployment in the near future.

He proposes a solution in the form of Universal Basic Income (UBI), which he believes is essential for stabilizing the economy and creating a new, more durable kind of society. The book explores the consequences of rapidly advancing technologies like artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation software, which are making millions of Americans' livelihoods irrelevant.

Yang argues that the future looks dire but is not unavoidable, and he offers a hopeful solution through UBI.

He imagines a different future in which having a job is distinct from the capacity to prosper and seek fulfillment. Yang's proposal has gained popularity among forward-thinking politicians and economists, and his book provides a comprehensive and compelling argument for why UBI is the solution we need to ensure broad-based prosperity in a future where labor-displacing technology becomes vastly more powerful.

The War on Normal People is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of work and the well-being of American society.
