About The Book
A Bold Plan to Rebuild the American Dream--for Everyone
We're not just divided--we're adrift. Strong Floor, No Ceiling presents a bold, radically moderate blueprint to reconnect our fractured country and restore belief in opportunity, fairness, and shared progress.
Entrepreneur, nonprofit leader, and public policy thinker Oliver B. Libby delivers a hopeful yet pragmatic path forward that blends innovation with tradition, growth with equity, and compassion with common sense. If you're weary of the extremes and the noise and looking for a future grounded in real solutions, this book is your rallying point.
Inside, you'll discover:
- A new "Strong Floor" approach to healthcare, education, and infrastructure
- How capital markets and innovation can coexist with social safety nets
- A powerful call for civic renewal and shared national
- Strategies to restore trust in institutions and elections
- A practical framework for bipartisan progress
- The launch of a Strong Floor/No Ceiling organization to support candidates who will lead on these principles
We should have a strong floor--made of access to education, healthcare, homes, jobs, capital, and justice--that all our citizens can stand atop. But we cannot afford this without celebrating success, entrepreneurship, and innovation--there should be no ceiling to our aspirations. These ideas may seem like they come from the opposite ends of the political spectrum, but they are fundamentally linked into the engine of the American Dream itself.
If you believe in fairness, freedom, and a future worth fighting for, now is the time to act.
