Basic Income, Liberal Egalitarianism, and the Study of Social Justice

Chapter Chapter 1 in Basic Income Reconsidered, 2012, pp 3-37 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract A universal welfare state is often described as a type of welfare state in which rights to income security are primarily based on citizenship or permanent residence. Comprehensive forms of welfare universalism rest on the idea that a substantial set of welfare rights should cover all members of society and that the welfare state will thus remain a concern for everyone. Such a welfare state does not mark out a separate group of needy people from the rest of the population.
