Smart People Should Build Things

Andrew Yang, founder of Venture for America, presents a revolutionary solution to U. S. social and economic problems—our smart people should be building things. Smart People Should Build Things tackles our country’s broken education system and offers a stark picture of the current culture. As the Founder and CEO of Venture for America, Andrew Yang places top college graduates in start-ups for two years in emerging U. S. cities to generate job growth and train the next generation of entrepreneurs. As he notes in Smart People Should Build Things, “Our education system is broken, and our economy is suffering because we’re not putting enough emphasis on entrepreneurs and innovators in the classroom. Most people are simply not passionate about their chosen careers or fields of study; they are merely going through the motions because they think that will be more likely to get them a job—and it is.
