<p><b>With a foreword by Angela Garbes<br></b><br><b>From 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 it<br></b><span><b><br></b><i>The Guarantee </i></span><span>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.<br></span><span><br>But isn't this pie-in-the-sky thinking? Not by a long shot as this provocative new book reveals. As it stands our current economic system is chock full of government-backed guarantees from bailouts to bankruptcy protection to keep the private sector in business. So why can’t the same be true for the rest of us?<br></span><span><br>Author Natalie Foster co-founder 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. Her brilliantly sketched vision for a new Guarantee Framework is rooted in real life experiences collaborations with some of today’s most important activists and visionaries and a concrete sense of the policies that are possible-and ready to implement—in twenty-first-century America.<br></span><span><br><i>The Guarantee</i></span><span> 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.</span></p>
