Aprašymas

The
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 isn't this socialism, or pie-in-the-sky thinking? Not by a
long shot, as this paradigm-shifting new book reveals. A full range of
government-backed guarantees, from bailouts to bankruptcy protection, keep the
private sector in business. So why can't the same be true for the rest of us?

Author Natalie Foster, co-founder (with Dorian Warren and
Facebook's Chris Hughes) of the Economic Security Project, has had a front-row
seat to the dramatic leaps forward in government guarantees over the past
decade, from student debt relief to the child tax credit expansion. In The Guarantee, she reveals with
compelling evidence how a new economic foundation is already being constructed
by some of today's most important activists and visionaries. She leaves readers
with a concrete sense of the policies that are possible--and ready to
implement--in twenty-first-century America.

The Guarantee is the rare book that will shift the terms of debate, moving
us from the expired and defunct assumptions of no-guardrails capitalism to a
nation that works for all of its people.
