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 [this book], Andrew Yang paints a dire portrait of the American economy. Artificial intelligence, robotics, and automation software are making millions of Americans' livelihoods irrelevant. The consequences are already being felt across our communities in the form of political unrest, drug use and other social ills. Meanwhile, our institutions and leaders seem unable to meaningfully respond and adapt to the new realities. The future looks bleak---but is it unavoidable? Yang imagines a different future--one in which work and money are not inextricably linked. At this vision's core is universal basic income, the concept of providing all citizens with a guaranteed income--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, which he calls Human Capitalism. The War on Normal People is a groundbreaking book about how Americans can build a sustainable economy and healthy society amid the rapid technological change of the twenty-first century."--Dust jacket.. 650 0 $a Poverty $x Government policy. 650 0 $a Basic income. 650 0 $a Automation $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Automation $x Economic aspects. 650 0 $a United States $x Economic conditions $y 2009- 941 $a 6 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417014845.0 952 $l WBPB115 $d 20230209022510.0 952 $l AWPD207 $d 20230209015119.0 952 $l VCPD034 $d 20191227010059.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20190925012856.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20190716013637.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0E22F5D49E2111E9ADD1004F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
