We Are All Starters

A Manifesto to Renew Ourselves and Our Nation

With a stirring call for revolutionary change, Victor W. Hwang shines a path forward in our challenging time. In the concise and provocative manifesto “We Are All Starters,” he explains the choices that got us here, and how we must advance forward as a nation. The manifesto articulates a new fundamental right that has never been articulated before – what he calls the Right to Start – flowing from the innate entrepreneurial potential in all of us. It is a right implied in the original promise of America, but has withered over time. The manifesto is a fervent call to unleash that right. That means launching a movement to break down barriers, give people resources to adapt, start, and grow, and create more inclusive prosperity. Hwang describes specific strategies and actions at every level of society, where all of us can participate in building a new civic infrastructure. The Right to Start provides a roadmap for recovery, by helping millions of us find alternative incomes, restart closed businesses, open new businesses, and unleash our talents to renew ourselves and our nation.
