Beschreibung
Universal Basic Income is one of the most talked-about ideas of the 21st century. The motivating idea is simple: give people cash and let them do whatever they want with it. But below the surface of this simplicity lurk a number of challenging questions. How much would a UBI cost? Who would be eligible to receive it? Would it discourage work? Would it contribute to inflation? This book provides an objective, expert guide to these and many other questions about the UBI.
