design, philanthropy, social innovation, and entrepreneurship. This
book marks the first attempt to define the contours of a global

levers propelling design for social innovation forward today.

The conflicting relation and interplay between a canon fixed in
wording and interpretation on the one hand, and the volatility and
ambiguity of the "quotable quote" (Garber: Quotation Marks, 2003)
on the other hand is the main objective of this work. Without
quotation the canon cannot and will not survive. But how does
quotation affect the authority of the canon? I argue that quotation
'classics' are not made, they are quoted: It is the quoter and not
the author of a text who wields the (democratic) power of choosing
the quotable. I investigate how the canon prescribed by the Chinese
Communist Party becomes the classic chosen by individual quoters
writing for the "People's Daily," the mouthpiece of this Party. The
time frame under investigation reaches from the founding of the
People's Republic of China in 1949 to the present. In five case
studies I illuminate the reciprocal influence between quotation and
canon, between innovation and imitation in modern China.
Global developments in basic income have reinvigorated political
debates on the necessity of progressing to universal basic income
implementation. Basic income is a powerful strategy for addressing
poverty gaps and growing inequality. This book provides new
insights and strategies from an Australian political economy
perspective to respond to implementation challenges and
distributive justice. The book positions the disability dimension
and disability pensions in relation to basic income to explore
strategies for strengthening universal provisions. It illustrates
the need for socially just conditions and adequate financing to
underpin redistribution as a way of safeguarding the sustainability
of basic income.
This book brings together scholars from the fields of politics,
philosophy, sociology, anthropology and economics, to explore
pathways towards implementing a Basic Income in Australia. It is
the first book of its kind to outline avenues for implementation of
a basic income specifically for Australia and responds to a gap in
the existing basic income literature and published titles to
provide a distinct standpoint in the exploration of basic income
within the Australian contemporary policy landscape. The first
section of the book outlines some of the continuing substantive and
philosophical issues regarding BI implementation. In the second
section of the book, authors offer practical strategies and models
for progressing BI in Australia.
