Abstract

The editor describes the Palgrave International Handbook of Basic Income as a comprehensive guide to the debate about Basic Income: an unconditional income paid to every individual regardless of their income, employment status, household structure, or anything else, other than their age. The Handbook is described as international—its authors are drawn from around the world; it is designed for an international audience; and it is about a global debate. The reasons for a second edition are discussed, and the chapter then describes the five parts of the book: (1) the concept of Basic Income and its history; (2) some effects of Basic Income; (3) the feasibility and implementation of Basic Income; (4) pilot projects and other experiments; (5) ideological and ethical perspectives.
