Hello John,

I hope that your summer is going great!

I have an announcement that I'm excited to share; my new book - "Forward: Notes on the Future of Our Democracy" will be published by Crown on October 5th!

The last several years when I ran for President, I learned so much, thanks to many of you. I did my best to document my experiences and answer the fundamental question "Why is our country not working as well as it should be?"

I have the same goal as ever - to make our economy and society work for us, the people and families of this country. I thought that the problem was that enough people did not know about Universal Basic income. Now, I think that the problem is that our government does not truly respond to what the people want or think.

Imagine running for President and seeing the machinery up close. "I need you to see what I see." That is my goal yet again.

I genuinely can't wait to share this book with you - and then discuss its contents with you and the world. I hope that you will pre-order a copy.

 

 

Yours excitedly,

- Andrew

We all know that something is deeply wrong with America. Andrew Yang surged to popularity in 2020 because he saw--like none of the other presidential candidates—that our problems came from the complex interactions of democracy, economics, and technology. In this important book, Yang explains how these three domains interact and he proposes solutions that, when combined, would lead us forward to human-centered capitalism and a vibrant, just, and prosperous democracy. - Jonathan Haidt

Can we find a way past toxic partisanship to a fact-based government? Can we create new jobs and lean into the future that also give dignity and hope to millions of workers? Can we think about the idea of universal basic income as a way to unleash innovation and creativity? You may not always agree with -- and may not even have voted for -- Andrew Yang, but I am sure glad he is out there asking the hard questions and challenging the status quo and trying hard to find a new way forward for all of us. In his latest book, "Forward," Yang does not just give us a laundry list of intractable problems, but shows how we can find solutions if we think in new ways and find the courage to do so. - Kara Swisher

If enough people read this book, maybe we can finally and truly progress? I hope so, because going nowhere but apart is definitely not going to save America from the future it faces if we don't fix the structural problems driving us apart. There is another way, and that way is FORWARD. - Scott Santens

Tribal politics has been holding us back from finding real solutions to our problems. Leading with his advocacy of ranked choice voting, Andrew Yang continues to buck that trend. Forward is a vitally important book that shows how entrepreneurial, independent thinking will be the indispensable ingredient to solving our biggest political and economic challenges. - Mark Cuban
