The author contends that paternalistic and counterproductive eligibility rules in the modern American welfare state violate the human dignity of the poor and make it nearly impossible to escape the "poverty trap." Furthermore, these types of restrictions are absent from expenditures aimed at middle and upper-income households such as mortgage interest deductions and tax-sheltered retirement accounts. Case examples from the author's years as a front-line social worker and interviews with basic income pilot recipients in Ontario, Canada, are woven throughout the book to better illustrate the effects of the current system and the hidden potential of more radical alternatives such as a universal basic income." -- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Basic income $z United States. 650 0 $a Welfare state $z United States. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9783030371210 830 0 $a Exploring the basic income guarantee 941 $a 3 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20220721010146.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20220706021008.0 952 $l PGAX715 $d 20210818095038.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2DADBD52C43111EB854196005EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
