商品簡介
Offers a refreshing alternative to most writing on the British welfare state, arguing that the status quo cannot be defended, and that the principles of collective and universal welfare can be preserved through reform with the radical yet simple device of a Basic Income, which would be paid periodically and unconditionally to every man, woman, and child without reference to employment or household status. Provides an introduction to the Basic Income debate and arguments for and against it, and examines intersections between socialism and social dividend, and feminism, ecologism, and Basic Income. The author teaches social policy at the University of Luton. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
