About This Book
Peter Barnes argues that because of globalization, automation, and winner-take-all capitalism, there won't be enough high-paying jobs to sustain America's middle class in the future. Therefore, to survive economically, our middle class needsâand deservesâa supplementary source of nonlabor income.To meet this need, Barnes proposes to give every American a share of the wealth we own togetherâ starting with our air and financial infrastructure. These shares would pay dividends of several thousand dollars per yearâmoney that wouldn't be welfare or wealth redistribution but legitimate property income.
