Publisher's Synopsis
The book takes as its starting point the Health Case for Basic Income research group's model of impact. The book works through real world examples of how basic income transforms almost all aspects of society in ways that are irreversible and concludes that the scientific and policymaking debate on basic income highlights the reasons for our age of crisis. In terms of that conclusion, the book illustrates that academics apply totally bizarre standards of causality and evaluation that only exist within a liberal democratic context and that they themselves dismiss as soon as people talk about international development; and people have become incapable of understanding the possibility of there being divergent material interests in society. This is a defining contribution to public understanding of basic income that builds on and brings together the team's programme of research.
