Universal basic income is a controversial policy which is causing a
stir amongst academics, politicians, journalists and policy-makers
all over the world. The idea of receiving 'money for nothing', with
no strings attached, has for a long time appeared a crazy or
radical proposal. But today, this policy is being put into
practice. With more and more trials and experiments taking place in
different countries, this book provides both the theory and context
for making sense of different basic income approaches, examining
how the policy can be best implemented. Unlike many other texts
written on this topic, the book provides a balanced account of
basic income, weighing up the pros and cons from a number of
different positions. The book provides a theory chapter, enabling
readers to grasp some of the complex philosophical ideas and
concepts which underpin universal basic income, such as social
justice, equality and freedom. It also provides an examples
chapter, which examines both historical and contemporary basic
income studies to have taken place from around the globe. The book
also features chapters on the environment and the work of women, as
well as an 'against' universal basic income chapter, which
specifically draws on the criticisms of the policy. This volume is
an essential resource for anyone who wishes to get to grips with
universal basic income.
