"provides a wide ranging but general introduction for those who are new to the subject, while offering those with more familiarity a useful compendium of recent literatures and debates." Social Policy & Administration "Malcolm Torry delivers a blockbuster argument in favour of a Citizen's Income to wholly or partially replace current benefits." customer review, Amazon "The ideal of a Citizen's Income is a challenging framework to reflect on. But ... all governments ... should seriously consider it, and Malcolm Torry certainly shows how to make it a reality." LSE Review of Books "Citizen's Income is a big idea whose time might at last have come. Malcolm Torry's book could play a part in making that happen. Everyone should read it." Professor Hartley Dean, London School of Economics "Comprehensive and persuasive, this book debunks the current orthodoxies on welfare reform, and sets out a radical alternative to coercion and 'targeting' - a universal, unconditional, non-withdrawable payment for every citizen." Bill Jordan, Professor of Social Policy, Plymouth University
