Introduction: It’s Time to Think BIG

Allan Sheahen

Chapter Chapter 1 in Basic Income Guarantee, 2012, pp 1-2 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The idea of a Basic Income Guarantee (BIG) has been called both a new hope for America and a threat to democracy; a creative new social program and the most stupid idea of all time; inspired legislation and a giant boondoggle; economic security for everyone and a free handout to welfare chiselers; the road to individual freedom and the path to social ruin.
