Should we be debating a basic income guarantee instead of minimum wage hikes and wealth taxes?

[Craig Axford]

Citing a 2009 report by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CPPA), this author argues that a basic income guarantee wouldn’t necessarily involve a huge expenditure by government to implement.  Providing a greater degree of separation between work and income might, as Eric Fromm argued, also greatly enhance personal freedom.
