The Book: Published 15 September 2026

UBI as revolution insurance, not welfare.

Save the 1% argues that Universal Basic Income is the cheapest insurance policy the wealthy will ever buy. Published in English, French and Spanish on 15 September 2026, it is available in Kindle, paperback and hardcover editions.

Every civilization that concentrated wealth past a critical threshold collapsed. The pattern has held for twenty-seven centuries. Artificial Intelligence is accelerating the next one.

The book makes the counterintuitive case for taxing the top to save the top, built on fiscal data from five countries, game theory, and the historical record. Every source cited, every calculation shown.

The essays at savethe1percent.substack.com are the work in public. The book is where it all comes together.

The Author

Stephen Angeloni

Author portrait: AI-generated from a photograph.

Stephen Angeloni is a financial IT consultant who has spent thirty-five years convinced that universal basic income is where advanced economies must eventually arrive. He is not an economist. He reasons from incentives, from the arithmetic of who pays for what.

He treats UBI as a question of system stability rather than charity: what holds a society together when most people no longer have an economic stake in it? Save the 1% is his first book.
