For more than four decades, Hugh Segal has been one of the leading
voices of progressive conservatism in Canada. A self-described Red
Tory warrior who disdains "bootstrap" approaches to poverty, he has
always promoted policies, especially a basic annual income, to help
the most economically vulnerable. Why would a life-long Tory
support something so radical? In this revealing memoir, Segal
shares how his life and experiences brought him to this most
unlikely of places, beginning with his childhood in a poor
immigrant family in Montreal to his time as a chief of staff for
Prime Minister Mulroney and to his more recent work as an advisor
on a basic income pilot project for the Ontario Liberal government.
This book is a passionate argument not only for why a basic annual
income makes economic sense, but for why it is the right thing to
do.
