Shouldn't everyone
receive a stake in society's wealth? Could we create a fairer world by
granting a guaranteed income to all?What would this mean for our health,
wealth and happiness? Basic Income is a regular cash transfer from the
state, received by all individual citizens.
It is an
acknowledgement that everyone plays a part in generating the wealth
currently enjoyed only by a few. Political parties across the world are
now adopting it as official policy and the idea generates headlines
every day. Guy Standing has been at the forefront of thought about Basic
Income for the past thirty years, and in this book he covers in
authoritative detail its effects on the economy, poverty, work and
labour; dissects and disproves the standard arguments against Basic
Income; explains what we can learn from pilots across the world and
illustrates exactly why a Basic Income has now become such an urgent
necessity.
