This book is the first proper guide to basic income -- what it is, how we can organise it, and how it can benefit the majority in different spheres of their lives.Basic Income is simply the idea that everyone in a given society has a right to a minimal income. This is paid by the state out of taxation. Set at a subsistence level, it would take the place of unemployment and other benefits. This would bring profound social changes. Anyone could opt out of employment at any time. Those with few skills would no longer be forced to take up jobs with poor prospects, and employers offering McJobs would be forced to offer better terms. And money wasted by the state in means testing and tracing benefit fraud is saved The campaign in favour of basic income is growing and governments are beginning to take notice. This is a clear, concise guide to the principles and practicalities of this revolutionary idea. 606 $aBasic income 606 $aIncome distribution 606 $aIncome maintenance programs 606 $aWelfare state 615 0$aBasic income. 615 0$aIncome distribution. 615 0$aIncome maintenance programs. 615 0$aWelfare state. 676 $a331.2/3 700 $aRavento?s$b Daniel$01652545 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816206903321 996 $aBasic income$94003283 997 $aUNINA
