Chapter Chapter 14 in Debating Universal Basic Income, 2022, pp 103-119 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter summarizes the main points for and against universal basic income or basic income guarantee policies before briefly describing alternative policies, including universal basic asset, universal credit, and universal service proposals, job guarantees, training programs, and more general economic opportunity-enhancing policies. It concludes with the warning that policymakers and voters should beware because it is easier to implement a bad policy than a good one.
