Chapter Chapter 9 in Is Basic Income Within Reach?, 2021, pp 289-307 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This concluding chapter tries to summarize and further clarify the issues around basic income policy for advanced economies, including both the negative income tax and universal basic income approaches. It then turns for special attention to the Canadian case, where a long history of income assistance through the tax system for those with low incomes coupled with a recent spotlight on anti-poverty strategy offers a pathway, albeit not without its challenges, to a universally accessible basic income. The chapter also offers some final thoughts on what might lie ahead as the world emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic to a new normal.
