This is a book that confounds expectations … Hughes is thoughtful, humble and honest about his luck … A meditation on the great issues of the 21st-century economy

The Times

Deeply felt and cogently argued ... Hughes makes a powerful case that deserves a respectful hearing

Financial Times

Admirable … As much a memoir as a manifesto – an endearing effort by the author to understand the meaning of his extraordinary circumstances

If we are to be true to the principles of our nation's founding, opportunity cannot be solely the province of the wealthy and well-connected. Yet the promise that if you work hard you can get ahead is broken for millions. As we strive to build a fairer, more inclusive country, Fair Shot is a very important read. These ideas must be part of the conversation
