About the project

Save The 1% is a finished book, now in production in three languages, arguing that Universal Basic Income is revolution insurance, the cheapest policy the wealthy will ever buy. Every civilization that concentrated wealth past a critical threshold collapsed. The pattern has held for twenty-seven centuries. AI is accelerating the next one.

This isn't charity. It's the math behind the cheapest insurance policy in history. Drawing on game theory, historical pattern recognition, and real numbers: every source cited, every calculation shown.

What is UBI, really? The precise definition and the fourteen things people confuse it with.

Written in public.
