Basic Income as Public Equity: The New Zealand Case

Keith Rankin

Chapter Chapter 2 in Basic Income in Australia and New Zealand, 2016, pp 29-51 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract New Zealand has an ongoing substantial, though somewhat subterranean, discussion about universal basic income (UBI), the integration of taxes, and benefits through universalist “public equity” principles. The New Zealand discussion does not connect much with the wider international discussion, and has been inhibited by the perseverance of a neoliberal policy-making environment since 1984 that has been hostile to universalism.
