Introduction to a multidisciplinary study of Citizens Basic Income

.

Chapter 1 in A Modern Guide to Citizen’s Basic Income, 2020, pp 1-6 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Chapter 1 defines a Citizen’s Basic Income as an unconditional income for every individual, the amount of which can vary with someone’s age but not in any other way. A history of some of the academic disciplines then follows, along with descriptions of different kinds of taxes and benefits. A dilemma is discussed: that because disciplinary boundaries can be quite flexible, some of the aspects of the Citizen’s Basic Income debate could have been located in several different chapters; so either somewhat arbitrary decisions have had to be made as to where consideration of an aspect of the debate is to be located, or a certain amount of repetition has occurred. Where particular aspects of the debate have been located is stated and discussed.
