Author Peter Barnes stopped by Grist to talk about his new book. Naturally, we took him to our building's service elevator to give the elevator pitch of his new book, With Liberty and Dividends for All: How to Save Our Middle Class When Jobs Don't Pay Enough. We were intrigued and our own David Roberts shared his thoughts: grist.org/climate-energy/a-proposal-to-save-the-middle-class-by-cutting-carbon-pollution
