We don't get very much information on empirical experiments based on comparable concepts and in general the amount of literature discussed was at least to me disappointing. Furthermore the financial aspects of the policy were not that useful and could be even called lazy as Murray just assumes that not much would change from the current fiscal situation once the basic income grant is implemented whilst ignoring the consequences this could have on tax returns as the tax code is drastically affected by the authors proposals. Still recommendable to everyone who wants a nice list of conservative arguments for a BIG. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Imagine that the United States were to scrap all its income transfer programs--including Social Security, Medicare, and all forms of welfare--and give every American age twenty-one and older $10,000 a year for life.This is the Plan, a radical new approach to social policy that defies any partisan label. First laid out by Charles Murray a decade ago, the updated edition reflects economic developments since that time. Murray, who previous books include Losing Ground and The Bell Curve, demonstrates that the Plan is financially feasible and the uses detailed analysis to argue that many goals of the welfare state--elimination of poverty, comfortable retirement for everyone, universal access to healthcare--would be better served under the Plan than under the current system. Murray's goal, shared by Left and Right, is a society in which everyone, including the unluckiest among us, has the opportunity and means to construct a satisfying life. In Our Hands offers a rich and startling new way to think about how that goal might be achieved. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
