Who benefits from Universal Basic Income - and who pays for it? Learn everything you need to know about UBI in this short book!

The growing movement for universal basic income (UBI) has been gaining attention from politics and the media with the audacious idea of a regular, unconditional cash grant for everyone as a right of citizenship. This volume in the Essential Knowledge series presents the first short, solid UBI introduction that is neither academic nor polemic. It takes a position in favor of UBI, but its primary goal remains the provision of essential knowledge by answering the fundamental questions about it: What is UBI? How does it work? What are the arguments for and against it? What is the evidence?

The motivating idea of a Universal Basic Income (UBI) is radically simple: give people cash and let them do whatever they want with it. But does this simple idea have the potential to radically transform our society? This book provides the average citizen with all the information they need to understand current debates about the UBI. It recounts the history of the idea, from its origins in the writings of eighteenth century radical intellectuals to contemporary discussions centered on unemployment caused by technological advances such as artificial intelligence.

Un bimbo che oggi nasce in Congo, o una bambina che nascerà in Europa tra vent'anni, hanno il diritto di porre domande sul nostro modello di sviluppo e sui nostri stili di vita, perché le nostre scelte di oggi stanno già modificando la loro vita, a volte in meglio ma altre in peggio. "L'economia civile", di cui il audiolibro illustra genesi e campi di applicazione, cerca risposte non fuori dall'economia di mercato ma all'insegna di un mercato diverso.

Welfare for the Rich is the first book to describe and analyze the many ways that federal and state governments provide handouts - subsidies, grants, tax credits, loan guarantees, price supports, and many other payouts - to millionaires, billionaires, and the companies they own and run.

This audiobook examines the history of ideas regarding welfare economics, and in particular the American welfare state.

Il reddito di cittadinanza è l'espressione più autenticamente universale di un welfare state volto a fornire un sostegno economico a tutti, a prescindere dal reddito e dalla disponibilità a lavorare. Un'idea antica, affascinante, ma mai realizzata. Perché? Contrapposto al reddito di cittadinanza è il reddito minimo, un trasferimento destinato alle sole persone indigenti e disponibili a un reinserimento lavorativo. Come funziona nei paesi che lo hanno introdotto? Cosa si sta facendo in Italia?
