Torry, Malcolm, Money for Everyone: Why we need a Citizen's Income
Malcolm Torry, the head of Britain's BIEN affiliate, the Citizen's Income Trust, has released a book entitled, Money for Everyone: Why we need a Citizen's Income. The publisher provides the following information about the book and the author:
About This Book: Due to government cuts, the benefits system is currently a hot topic. In this timely book, a Citizen's Income (sometimes called a Basic Income) is defined as an unconditional, non-withdrawable income for every individual as a right of citizenship. This much-needed book, written by an experienced researcher and author, is the first for over a decade to analyse the social, economic and labour market advantages of a Citizen's Income in the UK. It demonstrates that it would be simple and cheap to administer, would reduce inequality, enhance individual freedom and would be good for the economy, social cohesion, families, and the employment market. It also contains international comparisons and links with broader issues around the meaning of poverty and inequality, making a valuable contribution to the debate around benefits. Accessibly written, this is essential reading for policy-makers, researchers, teachers, students, and anyone interested in the future of our society and our economy

Van Parijs, Philippe "The Euro Dividend"
In this short article, Philippe Van Parijs proposes a Euro-dividend, which he describes as "one, simple and radical, yet " reasonable and urgent" proposal. The Euro-dividend is a modest basic income for every legal resident of the European Union. According to Van Parijs, "This income provides each resident with a universal and unconditional floor that can be supplemented at will by labour income, capital income and social benefits. Its level can vary from country to country to track the cost of living, and it can be lower for the young and higher for the elderly."
Van Parijs is a professor at the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium and the author Real Freedom for All: what (if anything) can justify capitalism.
