    About this ebook

    The War on Normal People: The Truth About America's Disappearing Jobs and Why Universal Basic Income Is Our Future by
    Andrew Yang​​​​​​​ | Conversation Starters

    A  "wave of automation and job loss" is currently taking over American industries. Experts in robotics, automation, artificial intelligence, and software have warned that job losses will continue to happen in the coming years. "Normal people," who represent the 70 percent of the American population, will be most affected.  The market economy demands efficiency and this does not favor normal people. A rising number of people are disabled and suffer mood disorders because people without jobs often end up in despair. Entrepreneur and economist Andrew Yang propose visionary solutions. 

    The War on Normal People is hailed by Arianna Huffington for presenting “a roadmap to a better future.”

      Whether or not you likes Andrew Yang, whether or not you think his freedom dividend proposal will work, and even if you are against the idea of universal basic income all together oh, what a dream game reveals is that we are indeed moving at an increasing rate of speed towards having a society and economic Paradigm in which the ability to find a job that provides a middle class lifestyle is less and less likely. What makes Universal basic income a plausible issue is that good decreasing number of these jobs is not the result of anything bad, but rather the result of human ingenuity and technological innovation causing huge increases in productivity and convenience. We as a whole are still becoming more and more prosperous, but the traditional Paradigm of being able to trade economic value in the form of time, Talent, and labor for currency and allows you purchase basic needs and discretionary goods and services, is no longer abundant. We are approaching a form of the Gilded Age, one in which the huge benefits of economic progress is consolidated in the hands of a smaller and smaller group of individuals and companies. This is not because they are evil or corrupt, and I am not condemning or judging them. But they are able to make that money because they live in a society that is structured in a way that allows them to do it. But society itself is answerable only to itself, and it's systems are determined by those who live in it, either democratically or by fiat. The question that ultimately lies at the heart of Andrew Yang's book is about the kind of society that we want to live in. We can make all the appeals to freedom and unrestricted free markets as though simply because it is better than socialism and communism, it does not come with problems of its own. It does not make you a socialist 2 be open to the idea that it is possible to ensure a minimum standard of living four members of a society as long as the cost of doing it is not excessively restrictive on the ability of the economy itself to grow and expand and provide opportunity for wealth accumulation.
