Citizens Basic Income as social policy

.

Chapter 9 in A Modern Guide to Citizen’s Basic Income, 2020, pp 144-171 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Chapters 9 and 10 explore the discipline of social policy. Chapter 9 contains the introduction for both chapters, and Chapter 10 conclusions for both. Chapter 9 discusses Paul Spicker’s and Hartley Dean’s different approaches to the discipline – the first attempting to solve today’s social problems, and the second asking what kind of society we wish to see – and finds the latter approach to be more likely to serve future society. The policy process – how policy is made – is discussed, along with the policy communities and institutions involved; and a discussion of complexity finds that a Citizen’s Basic Income would facilitate creative complexity. Six different feasibility tests and the relationships between them are then described, and the conclusion is drawn that implementation of Citizen’s Basic Income should begin with the age groups thought to be most deserving. A case study describes two financially feasible Citizen’s Basic Income schemes.
