Chris Hughes co-founded Facebook while a student at Harvard and led the Obama campaign's digital efforts. In his new book Fair Shot: Rethinking Inequality and How We Earn (St. Martin's Press, 2018) he argues that the same forces that led to his enormous wealth make escaping poverty impossible for most. His solution: a guaranteed basic income for all.
