Notes
Pavlina R. Tcherneva is Professor at Bard College and Research Associate at the Levy Economics Institute.
"The Job Guarantee is the next big, common-sense idea for economic
reform. Over years of dedicated work, Pavlina Tcherneva has
developed and advanced the plan, and today it stands poised to
complement the Green New Deal and Medicare for All as a fundamental
pillar of the progressive agenda. Read about it here... and go out
to help make it happen."
—James K. Galbraith, The University of Texas at Austin "More than
any other piece of public policy, the Job Guarantee can help us
build a more equitable economy and just society. Pavlina Tcherneva
has written the perfect primer for anyone interested in
understanding why and how the Job Guarantee can do so much
good."
—Ady Barkan, Activist and organizer and author of Eyes to the Wind
"Pavlina Tcherneva offers an eloquent and convincing argument for a
public sector job guarantee as an economic shock absorber.
Particularly valuable is her demonstration of how such a program
can revitalise local communities. Beyond this, her book is an
indispensable primer for advocates of a Green New Deal."
—Robert Skidelsky "Tcherneva lays out the case for how we can raise
the roof by lifting the floor, as we transition away from a failed
and cruel economy based on an assumed percentage of unemployment.
She demonstrates how a jobs guarantee can help address some of our
biggest challenges, including bridging the gap to a Green New Deal
and the critical conversion from a fossil-fuel economy to a
sustainable future. Through her book we can see a world where
everyone who wants to claim the dignity of work as their own has
that right."
—Sara Nelson, International President, Association of Flight
Attendants-CWA, AFL-CIO
