This very readable short book is a persuasive introduction to the concept behind the Alaska Permanent Fund – that we should all share equally in “co-owned wealth”. In Alaska this is oil, but it could be much more.
One of our most reasonable modern thinkers, Mr, Barnes offers us solutions too practical for people currently in office to possibly absorb. Thought provoking and fascinating.
Everybody talks about economic inequality, but hardly anyone offers a credible way to reduce it. French economist Thomas Piketty documented the deep structural nature of inequality in Capital in the 21st Century, but the best solution he could come up with was a global wealth tax.
With Liberty and Dividends for All is brilliant! Really.
