Christopher Deeming is a Senior Lecturer in Social Policy at the University of Strathclyde.

Paul Smyth is Honorary Professorial Fellow in the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Melbourne, Australia. His numerous writings on Australian social policy include three editions of Australian Social Policy Understanding for Action (2014) and Inclusive Growth in Australia (2013).

“What is particularly interesting about this book is the way in which its diverse contributions are all evidence for new perspectives emerging from within current social and economic policy: the new evolving out of the old rather than coming from elsewhere to replace it, and at the same time being genuinely new.” Citizen’s Income
