But is a basic income really the best policy response to poverty, precarious work, and unemployment? Is it the best way to build a just and inclusive society? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eBasic Income and a Just Society\u003c\/i\u003e provides a comprehensive evaluation of basic income and its application as a primary social policy tool. Drawing on extensive research and analysis produced for the British Columbia Expert Panel on Basic Income, combined with pan-Canadian data and current evidence, leading scholars examine the various claims made for and against a basic income. They assess its potential to reduce poverty and improve social outcomes, as well as the costs associated with implementing such a program in Canada and how it would interact with existing social programs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn examining the key arguments advanced by proponents of a basic income, contributors take a hard look at Canada's social safety net and its strengths and weaknesses, proposing a different path forward - one that entails a full paradigm shift in social policy and rests on providing the bases of self- and social respect to all Canadians.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDavid A.
