Description
Malcolm Torry's timely book explores the concept of a Citizen's Income, an unconditional, non-withdrawable income for every individual as a right of citizenship. This analysis examines the social, economic and labour market advantages of such a system in the UK.
The author argues that a Citizen's Income would be simple and cheap to administer, reduce inequality, enhance individual freedom, and benefit the economy, social cohesion, families, and the employment market. International comparisons and links with broader issues around poverty and inequality are also discussed.
