In this book, Andy Stern, former president of the Service Employees International Union, considers the feasibility of a universal basic income (UBI) as a practical solution to problems posed by the changing nature of work, rising inequality, the shrinking middle class—and as a foundation for rebuilding the American Dream. He imagines the UBI as “a check coming in the mail to every single American, whether they work or not, with sufficient money to eradicate poverty and give all Americans the opportunity to achieve their dreams.”
