| Popis: |
This chapter studies four alternatives to Basic Income, apart from current means-tested and social insurance benefits. Leff describes the most substantial existing alternatives to Basic Income: the United States’ Earned Income Tax Credit. This is work-conditional, so it could never be a true substitute for a Basic Income, but it could be reformed to become more like one. Of the wide variety of currently unimplemented alternatives to Basic Income, Story discusses Negative Income Tax and finds that it would be difficult to administer; Percy discusses Universal Basic Services—an expansion of existing public services into additional policy fields—and finds them to be compatible with Basic Income; and Szlinder finds a job guarantee to be a generally unsatisfactory alternative. |
