Trade ReviewI do not believe it is possible to find another book on ubi written so simply and yet with so much content. – VALEERIJA KOROŠEC, sociologist, social policy specialist, Slovenia
As well as introducing and advocating for a basic income for all with her usual passion and commitment, Annie Miller presents an objective, robust and rigorous analysis and prescription for how a UBI could be launched to the benefit of all in society, and in the economy. An essential read and handbook wherever you are. – PROFESSOR MIKE DANSON, Chair of Basic Income Network Scotland
An invaluable guide to the concepts and jargon associated with debates on welfare reform, this book will be appreciated by students of social security systems and their teachers, as well as providing a succinct and clear guide for campaigners. It is particularly useful in an era when terms like minimum income guarantees, negative income tax and tax credits are often poorly understood by non-experts. – ANNE GRAY, Trustee of Citizen’s Basic Income Trust
