Basic Income by Philippe van Parijs

A Radical Proposal for a Free Society and a Sane Economy

The book explores the concept of a universal basic income (UBI) as a transformative policy proposal aimed at addressing economic inequality and social justice. It delves into the philosophical underpinnings, economic implications, and potential societal impacts of implementing a guaranteed income for all citizens, regardless of their employment status. Through a comprehensive analysis, the author argues for UBI as a means to empower individuals, reduce poverty, and foster a more equitable society, while also addressing common criticisms and challenges associated with its implementation.
