Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. Highlighting the
diversity and complexity of the global Basic Income debate, Malcolm
Torry assesses the history, current state and future of research in
this important field. Cognisant of the increasing extent and
intensity of the current Basic Income debate, Torry begins by
defining relevant key terms. Each chapter offers a concise history
of a particular subfield of Basic Income research, describes the
current state of research in that area, and makes proposals for the
research required if the increasingly widespread global debate on
Basic Income is to be constructive. Subsequent chapters tackle
research on financial and political feasibility; employment market
effects; other economic and social effects; ethical justifications
for paying everyone an unconditional income; and questions of
implementation. This state-of-the-art Research Agenda will be of
great value to students and scholars interested in social and
economic history, the economics of social policy, and a Universal
Basic Income. Its proposed strategies for carrying out future
research on Basic Income will also benefit journalists, think tank
staff and policymakers.
