Why Have an Experiment at All?

Karl Widerquist

Chapter Chapter 18 in A Critical Analysis of Basic Income Experiments for Researchers, Policymakers, and Citizens, 2018, pp 141-144 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter considers whether it is, after all, worthwhile (both strategically and scientifically) to have a Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiment, given that earlier chapters have shown so many difficulties experiments have in addressing the most important issues in the public discussion of UBI.
