Description
The Case for Universal Basic Services by Anna Coote and Andrew Percy A bold new policy is needed to address the pressing problems of poverty, inequality and environmental degradation. In this book, Coote and Percy argue that expanding universal public services to everyday essentials like transport, childcare and housing is not only a necessary solution but also efficient, practical and affordable. The old argument in favour of free markets and individual choice has led us to catastrophe. It's time to abandon this approach and adopt a more collective approach to service provision. The authors show that Universal Basic Services can help tackle many of the biggest problems facing the contemporary world. Anyone who cares about fighting for a fairer, greener and more democratic world should read this book.
