Freedom is commonly understood in two different ways: the absence
of restriction or interference (scalar freedom) and the absence of
slavery or oppression (status freedom). Independence,
Propertylessness, and Basic Income argues that philosophers have
focused too much on scalar freedom and proposes a theory of status
freedom as effective control self-ownership--simply, freedom as the
power to say no. This exciting new volume argues for and explores
the implications of this theory of freedom. It shows that most
societies today put the poor in situations in which they lack this
crucial freedom, making them vulnerable to poverty, exploitation,
and injustice. Widerquist argues that the basic income guarantee is
an appropriate institution to help secure status freedom in a
modern industrial society.
