ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The War on Normal People: The Truth about America's Disappearing Jobs and Why Universal Basic Income Is Our Future" by Andrew Yang explores the alarming trend of job displacement in America due to automation and technological advancements. The book argues that this "Great Displacement" is impacting a significant portion of the population, particularly "normal people" or the middle class, as their jobs become increasingly vulnerable. Yang presents a case for Universal Basic Income (which he calls the Freedom Dividend) as a potential solution to mitigate the negative consequences of this shift, providing a financial floor for all citizens. The narrative delves into the changing nature of work, the future of the economy, and the societal implications of widespread job loss, urging a reevaluation of our economic systems to adapt to these challenges.
