Unequal access to technology and the revenue it creates is one of the most pressing issues in the United States. An economic gulf exists between those who have struck gold in the tech industry and those left behind by the digital revolution; a geographic divide between those in the coastal tech industry and those in the heartland whose jobs have been automated; and existing inequalities in the technological access--students without computers, rural workers with spotty WiFi, and many workers without the luxury to work remotely.
Congressman Ro Khanna's Progressive Capitalism tackles these challenges head-on and imagines how the digital economy can create opportunities for people across the country without uprooting them. Anchored by an approach Khanna calls "progressive capitalism," he shows how democratizing access to tech can strengthen every sector of economy and culture. By expanding technological jobs nationwide through public and private partnerships, we can close the wealth gap in America and begin to repair the fractured, distrusting relationships that have plagued our country for fall too long.
Inspired by his own story born into an immigrant family, Khanna understands how economic opportunity can change the course of a person's life. Moving deftly between storytelling, policy, and some of the country's greatest thinkers in political philosophy and economics, Khanna presents a vision we can't afford to ignore. Progressive Capitalism is a "practical and aspirational" (Kimberlé Crenshaw, professor of law at UCLA and Columbia University) roadmap to how we can seek dignity for every American in an era in which technology shapes every aspect of our lives.

I agree with Bill! Ro Khanna’s new book, "Dignity in a Digital Age," is a smart take on how we use technology to bring equality, not division, to communities across America. Buy it or get it from your local library.

I enjoyed my fireside chat with @lisapjackson at @Apple. We discussed decentralizing tech across America, racial & gender inclusion, clean energy investments — themes from my book Dignity in a Digital Age. I also enjoyed meeting with @tim_cook to discuss these important topics!
