With a foreword by Angela Garbes

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
The Guarantee  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.

But isn’t this socialism, or pie-in-the-sky thinking? Not by a long shot, as this paradigm-shifting new book reveals. A full range of government-backed guarantees, from bailouts to bankruptcy protection, keep the private sector in business. So why can’t the same be true for the rest of us?

Author Natalie Foster, co-founder (with Dorian Warren and Facebook’s Chris Hughes) 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. In  The Guarantee , she reveals with compelling evidence how a new economic foundation is already being constructed by some of today’s most important activists and visionaries. She leaves readers with a concrete sense of the policies that are possible—and ready to implement—in twenty-first-century America.

The Guarantee  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.
