    Perspectives on the Guaranteed Income, Part II

    Creator
    Widerquist, Karl
    Abstract
    This article literary appraises books related to guaranteed income. The books are: "Freedom and Security: An introduction to the Basic income Debate," by Tony Fitzpatrick; Basic income: Economic Security for All Canadians," by Sally Lerner, Charles M.A. Clark, and W. Robert Needham; "The Stakeholder Society," by Bruce Ackerman and Anne Alstott; "Socioeconomic Democracy: An Advanced Socioeconomic System," by Robley E. George; "Stumbling Towards Basic income: The Politics for Tax-Benefit Integration," by Bill Jordan, Phil Agulnik, Duncan Burbidge, and Stuart Duffin; "Healing Politics: Citizen Policies and the Pursuit of Happiness," by Steve Shafarman; "Basic income on the Agenda: Policy Objectives and Political Chances," edited by Lock Groot and Robert Jan Van der Veen; Daily Bread, the Story of Jasper's Box," by Stephen C. Clark; and "What's Wrong With a Free Lunch?," edited by Joel Rogers and Joshua Cohen. The guaranteed income is the unconditional assurance that no one's income falls below a certain level for any reason. There are many ways to accomplish this goal, but much of the recent literature focuses on a version called the basic income, which is an income that would be paid by the government to every citizen regardless of private income, wealth, employment, or marital status.
