- Summary:
- In the face of rising inequality, financial crisis, and painful austerity, the idea of a basic, guaranteed income - a citizen's income - is an idea whose time has come. In 101 Reasons for a Citizen's Income, Malcolm Torry lays out the case for guaranteeing a universal, unconditional income, and he goes on to show how a citizen's income would help solve problems of poverty, social cohesion, and economic efficiency.
