"Framing the idea for Canada, this new book makes a compelling case for the
introduction of a universal Basic
Income. Canadian workers face continuing turbulence as demands escalate
for a "flexible" workforce. Globalization and
rapid technological change are pressing in on all of us.
The authors trace in detail the arguments for and against Basic Income, how
it might be funded and delivered, the ways in
which it could increase employment and offer varied life choice
options. Seen as more than a cheque in the
mail, Basic Income is evaluated as a policy strategy for
dealing with the realities of the contemporary
'great transformation'."
