John Hope Bryant's New Book Reveals How Inclusive Capitalism Can Restore American Prosperity and Secure the Nation's Economic Future

Capitalism For All: Inclusive Economics and the Future-Proofing of America Offers Revolutionary Framework for Rebuilding the Middle Class and Revitalizing the American Dream

HOBOKEN, N.J. -- John Hope Bryant, founder and CEO of Operation HOPE and former vice-chairman of the President's Advisory Council on Financial Literacy, presents a transformative vision for America's economic future in his forthcoming book Capitalism For All: Inclusive Economics and the Future-Proofing of America, set to be published by Wiley on March 31, 2026.

Drawing on decades of frontline experience empowering underserved communities, Bryant demonstrates how inclusive capitalism, not exclusionary policies, can restore the middle class, maintain America's position as the world's leading economy, and ensure the American Dream remains achievable for all.

Following his bestselling 2024 book Financial Literacy For All, which was a bestseller across multiple categories for over a year and is now available in paperback, Bryant expands his vision for economic empowerment with this comprehensive framework for inclusive capitalism. As America grapples with growing economic inequality and social fragmentation, Capitalism For All provides both diagnosis and cure.

In a recent TIME op-ed, Bryant addressed the importance of maintaining hope and economic opportunity for all Americans, themes that form the foundation of his new book. Bryant's comprehensive analysis spans three critical sections: making the case for capitalism that works for all Americans, providing practical strategies for implementation, and charting the path forward on domestic and global stages.

Key insights and strategies include:

• The Middle Class as America's Superpower: How expanding rather than contracting our middle class strengthens national security and economic competitiveness
• Future-proofing Through Technology: Concrete plans for ensuring AI and emerging technologies lift all Americans rather than leaving communities behind
• Stakeholder Capitalism in Action: Real-world examples and frameworks for businesses to drive inclusive growth while maintaining profitability
• Global Leadership Through Inclusion: How inclusive economics positions America as a beacon of opportunity and strengthens our international influence
• Practical Implementation Tools: Detailed playbooks and business plans for creating systemic change at community, corporate, and policy levels

The book tackles everything from rebuilding opportunity ladders and leveraging technology as an equalizer to preparing for AI's impact and creating sustainable jobs of the future. With detailed business plans for America and insights into stakeholder capitalism, Bryant offers actionable strategies for business leaders, policymakers, community organizers, and engaged citizens who recognize that America's strength lies in its people's collective prosperity.

Currently available for pre-order, Capitalism For All is set to be published by Wiley on March 31, 2026.
