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 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.
