In Give a Man a Fish James Ferguson examines the rise of social
welfare programs in southern Africa, in which states make cash
payments to their low income citizens. More than thirty percent of
South Africa's population receive such payments, even as pundits
elsewhere proclaim the neoliberal death of the welfare state. These
programs' successes at reducing poverty under conditions of mass
unemployment, Ferguson argues, provide an opportunity for
rethinking contemporary capitalism and for developing new forms of
political mobilization. Interested in an emerging "politics of
distribution," Ferguson shows how new demands for direct income
payments (including so-called "basic income") require us to
reexamine the relation between production and distribution, and to
ask new questions about markets, livelihoods, labor, and the future
of progressive politics.
