Chapter Chapter 11 in The Palgrave International Handbook of Basic Income, 2023, pp 225-242 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Torry asks whether a Basic Income would be feasible in relation to several types of feasibility: financial (Would it be possible to finance a Basic Income? Would implementation impose substantial financial losses on households?) psychological (Is the idea readily understood, and understood to be beneficial?) administrative (Would it be possible to administer a Basic Income? Would it be possible to manage the transition?) behavioural (Would a Basic Income work for people once it was implemented?) political (Would the idea fit existing political ideologies?) policy process (Could Basic Income navigate the complex policy process from idea to implementation?) The chapter asks how the different feasibilities are related to an overall feasibility, and it studies implementation options and asks which might more easily pass the feasibility tests.
