- IfOnlyYouKnew 7y agoI do have quite a lot of sympathy for Andrew Yang, and I don't doubt the book is a well-crafted long essay of his central thesis of economic disruption. But if it looks like a glaring omission ten years from now, it almost by definition is the defining book of that decade, not the last one. It would not even surprise me if Yang, if asked, would name some work that came before his book to be more deserving of distinction. Because while he is a very effective promoter of UBI and why it's needed, it isn't exactly his idea.
