Previous books by Peter Barnes
Who Owns The Sky? (2001)
Argues that the atmosphere is a commons and that by treating it as such, we can curb greenhouse gas emissions while paying dividends to everyone.
Capitalism 3.0 (2006)
Proposes a new operating system for capitalism in which critical ecosystems would be managed by trusts on behalf of future generations and all living persons equally.
With Liberty and Dividends For All (2014)
Contends that if we want to retain a large middle class in America, we must supplement labor income with non-labor income. The best way to do that is with dividends from wealth we own together.
“OURS offers an elegant, market-based solution to inequality that is hiding in plain sight. It’s not subsidies or tax credits, just smart and fair management of wealth we inherit together. Thomas Paine pointed the way two centuries ago; Peter Barnes shows how to do it today.”
— Chuck Collins, author of The Wealth Hoarders
