Current debates concerning the future of social security provision
in advanced capitalist states have raised the issue of a citizen's
basic income (CBI) as a possible reform package: a proposal based
on the principles of individuality, universality and
unconditionality which would ensure a minimum income guaranteed for
all members of society. Implementing a CBI, would consequently
entail radical reform of existing patterns of welfare delivery and
would bring into question the institutionalized relationship
between work and welfare. Ailsa McKay's book makes a unique and
positive contribution to the CBI literature by examining the
proposal from a feminist economics perspective. Gender concerns are
central to any debate on the future of social security policy, in
that state intervention in the field of income redistribution has
differential impacts on men and women. By drawing attention to the
potential a CBI has in promoting equal rights of freedom for men
and women this book serves to open up the debate to incorporate a
more realistic and inclusive vision of the nature of modern
socio-economic relationships.
