520    America's economy does not currently live up to our 
       country's core values.  We are a nation founded on the 
       ideals of coming together across differences to forge a 
       common future. Yet over the past fifty years, our economy 
       has been pulling us apart at unprecedented rates. By 
       allowing top income earners and the wealthiest Americans 
       to hoard wealth like almost never before, we belie what 
       makes our country great. This is a threat to our well-
       being, our democracy, and our values.  Brian C. Johnson 
       combines accessible scholarship on wealth and income 
       inequality in America with deeply personal accounts of six
       Americans of diverse backgrounds who are each wrestling 
       with what it means to survive and thrive in this new 
       economic world. In so doing, he offers a solution that is 
       as visionary as it is practical. Dubbed the Citizen 
       Dividend, this revolutionary model assumes that economic 
       growth is built off of the wealth we have created together
       as a country, and together we all reap its benefits. In 
       Our Fair Share, Johnson lays the groundwork for 
       implementing this solution, detailing what the Citizen 
       Dividend is, offering examples of similar existing models,
       outlining the benefits of such systems, tackling some of 
       the common concerns that arise, and offering a path toward
       making it a reality.  Ultimately, Our Fair Share calls on 
       each of us to claim what is uniquely American, building a 
       common future that embraces and celebrates our 
       differences. This is our revolutionary inheritance. May we
       all benefit from it.
