Description
Universal Basic Income: A Radical Premise for a Fairer Society Karl Widerquist presents an accessible introduction to Universal Basic Income (UBI), a simple yet radical idea that has gained significant attention in recent years. UBI proposes providing every citizen with a regular, unconditional cash grant sufficient for basic needs. Widerquist explains how UBI functions and discusses the common arguments for and against it, as well as the reasons why he believes it is an important reform. He also explores the history of UBI, from its inception to the current wave of support, and considers the likely cost and options for paying for it. This book provides essential knowledge on UBI, making it a timely and necessary read in today's world where conditions are ripe for such enthusiasm to continue growing.
