"Basic Income: An Anthology of Contemporary Research offers an immensely engaging picture of the contemporary discussion about basic income. The book contains a truly amazing collection of articles. A must read for all those interested in the topic." -- Roberto Gargarella, Universidad Torcuato Di Tella

It provides both a superb introduction to the idea of basic income for those unfamiliar with the issues, and by far the most interesting and comprehensive collection of sophisticated discussions for those already immersed in the subject." -- Erik Olin Wright, University of Wisconsin-Madison
