Give People Money: How a Universal Basic Income Would End Poverty, Revolutionize Work, and Remake the World

Will. Annie Lowrey gives any reader interested in public policy a readable overview of the subject of universal basic income in her book titled, Give People Money: How a Universal Basic Income Would End Poverty, Revolutionize Work, and Remake the World. Like the consumption tax, I think UBI could be a policy embraced by both Democrats and Republicans if presented effectively. Democrats will like the idea of providing a stable source of income for all, and Republicans will like the idea of eliminating all the government workers who administer multiple rule-based government assistance programs. My eyes opened a bit wider after reading this book and understanding Lowrey’s claim that implementing a UBI is a matter of will, not math.
