Böcker av Karl Widerquist

"An EKS book describing the arguments for and against a universal basic income, drawing on research from around the world, with a particular focus on likelihood of adoption within the United States"--

At least six different Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments are underway or planned right now in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Finland, and Kenya.

The state of nature, the origin of property, the origin of government, the primordial nature of inequality and war - why do political philosophers talk so much about the Stone Age? Widerquist and McCall draw on archaeology and anthropology to show that much of what we think we know about human origins comes from philosophers' imaginations.

Explores the political, sociological, economic, and philosophical issues of the basic income guarantee. Tracing the history of the idea from its origins, it examines the philosophical debate over the issue. This book is designed to foster a climate of ideas amongst those specifically interested in the income support policies.
