The Blurb On The Back:
Shouldn't everyone receive a stake in society's wealth?
Could we create a fairer world by granting a guaranteed income for all?
What would this mean for our health, wealth and happiness?
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Guy Standing co-founded the Basic Income Earth Network and is a long-standing proponent of it and in this fascinating and informative book that anyone interested in the subject should read, he sets out what basic income is, the arguments for and against it (although I think his bias shows when assessing objections and he downplays them) and what information has come from those trials that have already been held on it in various countries.
Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
