- W4300387764 abstract "Universal basic income would provide everyone with a regular cash payment and is, as van Parijs (1992, p 1) observes, a ‘beautifully, disarmingly simple idea’ – as well as one with potentially profound implications. Under conventional social security policies, the groups of people to which transfers are made are restricted on the basis of conditions of category, circumstance and conduct (or behaviour) (Clasen and Clegg, 2007). Basic income sweeps all that away. Box 13.1 summarises the main features and advantages of universal basic income that arise from its simple and unconditional nature. Universal basic income’s appeal traverses a range of political perspectives (Torry, 2016a), giving rise to the common portrayal of basic income as ‘neither right nor left but forward’. At basic income’s heart is a compromise between ‘justice’ and ‘efficiency’ (van Parijs, 1990); proponents argue it is uniquely capable of fulfilling the protective functions of social security while minimising harmful labour market distortions (Martinelli, 2017a). Left-wing inclinations towards equality, solidarity and redistribution are coupled with libertarian ideals of freedom and efficiency. The juxtaposition of political philosophical values enshrined in basic income has a long pedigree; the modern concept can be traced back to Thomas Paine in the 18th century, where it was justified as compensation for infringement of inalienable common property rights through land enclosure (van Parijs, 1992). Since that time, interest in the idea has waxed and waned. However, in the past decade – and especially since 2013 – interest has soared. A number of developments illustrate this shift: a Swiss decision (in 2013) to have a referendum (held in 2016) on whether to grant every citizen an unconditional payment; recent experiments in Namibia and India, and a host of experiments ongoing or planned in Finland, Kenya, the Netherlands, Canada and California; a general flurry of media and public scrutiny; and the growing membership – and sheer number – of organisations supportive of (or at least interested in) the idea of basic income." @default.
