Beskrivning

This book is the first full-length treatment of the desirability and feasibility of implementing a citizen’s income (also known as a basic income). It tests for two different kinds of financial feasibility as well as for psychological, behavioral, administrative, and political viability, and then assesses how a citizen’s income might find its way through the policy process from proposal to implementation. Drawing on a wide variety of sources of evidence from around the world, this new book from the director of the Citizen’s Income Trust, UK, provides an essential foundation for policy and implementation debates. Governments, think tanks, economists, and public servants will find this thorough encompassing book indispensable to their consideration of the economic and social advantages and practicalities of a basic income.

Recensioner i media

"Feasibility constitutes an essential component of any social policy library - not only for those who are specifically interested in or advocate for a Citizen's Income. ... Throughout The Feasibility of a Citizen's Income Malcolm Torry's particular authorial voice, blending compassion with analytical finesse, is audible. ... Whether the current wave of interest in Citizen's Income breaks or whether it becomes even larger, this work will remain relevant, essential, and powerful." (Anthony Painter, Citizensincome.org, December, 2016)
