图书简介
Universal Basic Income is one of the most talked-about ideas of the 21st century. The motivating idea is simple: give people cash and let them do whatever they want with it. But below the surface of this simplicity lurk a number of challenging questions. How much would a UBI cost? Who would be eligible to receive it? Would it discourage work?
