Governments in the US, the UK and other nations around the world
routinely consider and, in some cases, experiment with reforms of
their income support systems. The basic income guarantee, a
universal unconditional income grant, has received increasing
attention from scholars as an alternative to the kinds of reforms
that have been implemented. This book explores the political,
sociological, economic, and philosophical issues of the basic
income guarantee. Tracing the history of the idea, from its origins
in the late eighteenth century through its political vogue in the
1970s, when the Family Assistance Plan narrowly missed passage in
the US Congress, it also examines the philosophical debate over the
issue. The book is designed to foster a climate of ideas amongst
those specifically interested in the income support policies and
more widely for those concerned with public, welfare and labour
economics. Its coverage will enable readers to obtain an in depth
grounding in the topic, regardless of their position in the debate.
