BASIC INCOME
A FREER, MORE SECURE AND MORE CARING SOCIETY – FOR EVERYONE
Basic Income – The Path to a Freer Life is an accessible, thorough and engaging book that shows why basic income – an unconditional income for everyone – could be one of the most important solutions of our time. With a clear voice, thoughtful reflections and solid evidence, the book explains how basic income can reduce poverty and inequality while giving people greater freedom, security and time for what truly matters.
The book takes us from the idea’s roots in the work of Thomas More and Thomas Paine, through past experiments in Finland and Ireland, to today’s debates about automation, inequality and the climate crisis. It shows how basic income can advance 11 of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, explains how it could be funded and explores which existing provisions it could replace.
The book also explains why basic income could help curb far-right movements and reduce polarisation in society.
By making complex topics such as funding, social ethics and work incentives easy to understand, the book reveals why basic income is about more than economics: it is about dignity, freedom and the society of the future. It explores how basic income could make us more creative, more humane and more empathetic, and help build renewed trust in society – a society where no one has to fear hunger or poverty, and everyone has the opportunity to contribute on their own terms.
Here is a short excerpt from the book:
In our economic system, most people see their work merely as a way to earn enough money to live – “it provides a livelihood, but it does not create a life”. For many, this goes so far that the work they must do to survive robs them of the very opportunity to live: it damages their health, consumes almost all their time and drains their energy.
The book concludes with a short story set in a future society with basic income, painting a warm picture of a society where people dare to live, love and create more.
