Synopsis
Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes makes the case that one percenters like him should pay their fortune forward in a radically simple a guaranteed income for working people.Chris Hughes helped launch Facebook with Harvard roommates Mark Zuckerberg and Dustin Moskovitz. He earned nearly half a billion dollars for three years of work and believes his overnight success is indicative of what's wrong with today’s economy. Tracing the rise of Facebook and similar companies, he exposes the specific economic forces that create today’s economic unfairness and lays out a plan to rein them in.Offering a blunt assessment of how he made his fortune, Hughes makes an impassioned argument for a simple, big idea whose time has a guaranteed income for all working people. Technology is scrambling what “having a job” means, requiring us to rethink how we provide economic opportunity to working people. Hughes’s definition of workers includes women and men who stay home to take care of children and the elderly, individuals in the emerging gig economy, and students. Citing a growing body of work in the United States and internationally, he documents how effective cash stipends are at improving health and education outcomes, contributing to the economic security of American workers and, ultimately, helping us to find a way out of our current economic malaise.Americans of all stripes are ready to rethink how our economy works. In this short and inspiring book, Chris Hughes joins them in the search for a new definition of work and a new way of earning that gives everyone a “Fair Shot.

Paperback. Condition: New. 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 peopleThe 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.
