Description

IN THIS FRANK, OFTEN HILARIOUS COLLECTION OF TRUE STORIES, political trailblazer Andrew Yang examines America’s breakdown through the lens of his unexpected journey from entrepreneur to presidential candidate. Part political memoir, part comedy, and part interior monologue, Hey Yang, Where’s My Thousand Bucks? captures the man’s unique ability to make complex ideas accessible and entertaining.

“In a world of bitter division and endless outrage,” says Yang, “this book is my attempt to break through the noise—with humor, honesty, and heart . . . Think of it as an insider’s guide to smiling during crazy times.”

For anyone frustrated with traditional political narratives, curious about the human behind the headlines, or simply looking for a smart, laugh-out-loud exploration of trying to improve life in America, this book promises to enlighten, entertain, and inspire. It’s more than a memoir—it’s a blueprint for generating optimism in an extremely challenging era.

Advance Praise

"It's no wonder that ever since Yang burst onto the scene with a positive movement that spoke directly to the pain Americans are feeling, both parties have been taking his ideas. With Forward, Yang once again proves he is a necessary and powerful voice." -Van Jones, on Forward: Notes on the Future of Our Democracy

"Can there be another political party in the US? Can we find a way past toxic partisanship to a fact-based government? In Forward, Yang does not just give us a laundry list of intractable problems, but shows how we can find solutions if we think in new ways and summon the courage to do so." -Kara Swisher, on Forward: Notes on the Future of Our Democracy

"Former Democratic presidential candidate Yang . . . teams up with novelist Marche. . . to craft a frighteningly plausible ‘what-if’ scenario in this taut political thriller. . . Yang and Marche masterfully ratchet the tension to near-unbearable levels. The outcome, in this worthy 21st-century update of the 1962 classic Seven Days in May, is just possible enough to give readers nightmares." -Publishers Weekly, starred review of The Last Election
