It is an acknowledgement that everyone plays a part in generating the wealth currently enjoyed by only a few and would rectify the recent breakdown in income distribution. Political parties across the world are now adopting this innovative policy and the idea generates headlines every day. Guy Standing has been at the forefront of thought surrounding basic income for the past thirty years, and in this book he covers in authoritative detail its effects on the economy, poverty, work, and labor; dissects and disproves the standard arguments against basic income; explains what we can learn from pilots across the world; and illustrates exactly why basic income has now become such an urgent necessity. 0aBasic income. 0aIncome. 0aIncome distribution. 7aGuaranteed annual income.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00948803 7aIncome.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00968635 7aIncome distribution.2fast0(OCoLC)fst00968670
