Promoting Income as a Right
Europe and North America
Guy Standing
* Comprehensively examines of the most fundamental issues facing
Western society in the 21st century, the proposal that basic income
security should be a pillar of 21st-century society
* Contributors include some of the most distinguished authorities in
the field from across Europe and the USA
* Will appeal to academics and policymakers throughout the UK,
Europe and the USA
This book is about an idea that has a long and distinguished
pedigree, the idea of a right to a basic income. This means having a
modest income guaranteed, a right without conditions, just as a
citizen of a good society should have the right to clean water, fresh
air and a good education.
In modern societies the conditions for moving in this direction would
seem to be falling into place. Yet in the era of globalization and
flexible labour relations, inequalities and insecurities can be
expected to remain pervasive. The early years of the 21st century
have seen the supremacy of politicians who have preached a very
paternalistic alternative vision. The past decade has been one of
increased state paternalism in social policy; it has been the period of
the erosion of industrial citizenship rights whose immediate effect
has been a terrible increase in social and economic security.
The arguments from and against the right to basic income security
are considered in this book. It argues that there should be a
guaranteed basic income as a citizenship right, without conditions,
paid to each individual, regardless of marital status, work status, age
or sex. Some chapters argue that existing selective schemes for
income protection are ineffectual, costly and misleading; other
chapters present alternative rationales and philosophical
justifications for moving towards a new form of universalism based
on citizenship economic rights.
Promoting Income as a Right, whose contributors include many
distinguished economists, philosophers and other social scientists
from across Europe and the USA, will appeal to academics and
policymakers alike.
Contributors from the US include Sibyl Schwarzenbach, City
University of New York; Michael Howard, University of Maine; Alan
Dyer, Northeastern University, Boston; Steven Shafarman, Citizen
Policies Institute, Washington D.C.; Theresa Funiciello, Social
Agenda, Inc., New York; Karl Wilderquist, University of Oxford
(USA); Joel Handler, Richard C Maxwell Professor of Law and Policy
Studies, UCLA
