Description
Guy Standing's A Pelican Introduction: Basic Income is a comprehensive exploration of an idea gaining traction worldwide. The concept of a guaranteed income has been at the forefront of thought for nearly four decades, and this book provides authoritative detail on its effects on the economy, poverty, work, and labour. Standing examines the standard arguments against Basic Income, dissects them, and presents evidence from pilots across the world. This book offers a thorough understanding of Basic Income, its potential to revitalise life and democracy in societies, and why it has become an urgent necessity.
