Andrew Yang (born January 13, 1975) is an American entrepreneur, philanthropist, the founder of Venture for America (VFA), and a U.S. 2020 Democratic presidential candidate. He worked in startups and early-stage growth companies as a founder or executive from 2000 to 2009. After he founded VFA, the Obama administration selected him in 2012 as a "Champion of Change" and in 2015 as a "Presidential Ambassador for Global Entrepreneurship". One of the main elements of Yang's bid for the 2020 presidential nomination, which he officially launched in November 2017, is a proposal for Universal Basic Income (UBI), known as the Freedom Dividend, for every American adult aged 18-64, in response to the rapid development of automation that is leading to workforce challenges. 2Early life and education Yang was born in Schenectady, New York, to immigrant parents from Taiwan. His parents met while they were both in graduate school at the University of California, Berkeley. His father graduated with a Ph.D. in physics and worked in the research labs of IBM and General Electric, generating over 69 patents in his career. His mother graduated with a master's degree in statistics and later became an artist. Yang attended Phillips Exeter Academy, a boarding school in New Hampshire. He graduated from Exeter in 1992 and went on to attend Brown University, receiving a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in economic

From “The War on Normal People”

Intelligence and character aren’t the same things at all. Pretending that they are will lead us to ruin.

Inrelligence character

There’s a big distinction between humans as humans and humans as workers. The former are indispensable. The latter may not be.

Universal Basic Income Automation

The future without jobs will come to resemble either the cultivated benevolence of Star Trek or the desperate scramble for resources of Mad Max.

The idea that poor people will be irresponsible with their money and squander it seems to be a product of deep-seated biases rather than emblematic of the truth.

Our fixation on college readiness leads our high school curricula toward purely academic subjects and away from life skills.

Scarcity will not save us. Abundance will.

Time only flows in one direction, and progress is a good thing as long as its benefits are shared.

Are we not, as the citizens of the United States, the owners of this country?

The market doesn’t care what’s best for us.

The market rewards business leaders for making things more efficient. Efficiency doesn’t love normal people.

The challenge we must overcome is that humans need work more than work needs us.

Work Meaning of Work

America is starting 100,000 fewer businesses per year than it was only 12 years ago, and is in the midst of shedding millions of jobs due primarily to technological advances.

So what’s normal? The normal American did not graduate from college and doesn’t have an associate’s degree. He or she perhaps attended college for one year or graduated from high school. She or he has a net worth of approximately $36K—about $6K excluding home and vehicle equity—and lives paycheck to…

Out of 193 countries, 160 already have a VAT or goods and services tax, including all developed countries except the United States. The average VAT in Europe is 20 percent. It is well developed and its efficacy has been established. If we adopted a VAT at half the average European level, we could…

The Obama White House published a report in December 2016 that predicted 83 percent of jobs where people make less than $20 per hour will be subject to automation or replacement. Between 2.2 and 3.1 million car, bus, and truck driving jobs in the United States will be eliminated by the advent of…

The logic of the meritocracy is leading us to ruin, because we are collectively primed to ignore the voices of the millions getting pushed into economic distress by the grinding wheels of automation and innovation. We figure they’re complaining or suffering because they’re losers.

Meritocracy Economics

The test is not “Will there be new jobs we haven’t predicted yet that appear?” Of course there will be. The real test is “Will there be millions of new jobs for middle-aged people with low skills and levels of education near the places they currently reside?”

From “Transcript”

You know, it's been a point of confusion because I don't look much like a white nationalist.
