Save The 1 Percent is a book-in-progress arguing that Universal Basic Income (UBI) 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.
