The Guarantee: Inside The Fight For Americas Next Economy,New

With a foreword by Angela GarbesFrom the president of the Economic Security Project, a book that shows how a just future is around the corner, if we are ready to seize itThe Guarantee asks us to imagine an America where housing, health care, a college education, dignified work, family care, an inheritance, and an income floor are not only attainable by all but guaranteed, by our government, for everyone.But isnt this pieinthesky thinking? Not by a long shot, as this provocative new book reveals. As it stands, our current economic system is chock full of governmentbacked guarantees, from bailouts to bankruptcy protection, to keep the private sector in business. So why cant the same be true for the rest of us?Author Natalie Foster, cofounder (with Dorian Warren and Facebooks Chris Hughes) of the Economic Security Project, has had a frontrow seat to the dramatic leaps forward in government guarantees over the past decade, from student debt relief to the child tax credit expansion. Her brilliantly sketched vision for a new Guarantee Framework is rooted in real life experiences, collaborations with some of todays most important activists and visionaries, and a concrete sense of the policies that are possibleand ready to implementin twentyfirstcentury America.The Guarantee is the rare book that will shift the terms of debate, moving us from the expired and defunct assumptions of noguardrails capitalism to a nation that works for all of its people.
