Abstract

Tentative conclusions are drawn: The Basic Income debate is increasingly extensive and deep; Definitions must be clear; Three questions characterise the current debate: Is Basic Income a good idea? Is it feasible? How would we implement it? The questions need to be answered in every different context; It will always be a particular Basic Income scheme that would or would not be a good idea, feasible, and implemented. The prevailing political, social and policy context will largely determine the feasibility of Basic Income and the effects that it might have; Further research is always required; Every country needs a long-term institution to develop research and the debate ethos. Implementation of Basic Income will be difficult, but the likely beneficial effects mean that the debate is worth pursuing.
