Universal Basic Income

Universal Basic Income

Universal basic income is a controversial policy which is causing a stir amongst academics politicians journalists and policy-makers all over the world. The idea of receiving ‘money for nothing’ with no strings attached has for a long time appeared a crazy or radical proposal. But today this policy is being put into practice. With more and more trials and experiments taking place in different countries this book provides both the theory and context for making sense of different basic income approaches examining how the policy can be best implemented. Unlike many other texts written on this topic the book provides a balanced account of basic income weighing up the pros and cons from a number of different positions. The book provides a theory chapter enabling readers to grasp some of the complex philosophical ideas and concepts which underpin universal basic income such as social justice equality and freedom. It also provides an examples chapter which examines both historical and contemporary basic income studies to have taken place from around the globe. The book also features chapters on the environment and the work of women as well as an ‘against’ universal basic income chapter which specifically draws on the criticisms of the policy. This volume is an essential resource for anyone who wishes to get to grips with universal basic income.

Intersections in Basic and Applied Memory Research

Intersections in Basic and Applied Memory Research

In recent years there has been increasing interaction between basic and applied memory researchers ranging from heated debates to highly productive collaborations. This collection of papers - based on presentations at the Third Practical Aspects of Memory conference - reviews the progress as well as obstacles to progress in the ongoing collaboration between basic and applied memory researchers. This volume represents the state of the art in memory research domains that straddle the basic-applied divide. The text is organized around three themes including theoretical and metatheoretical issues concerning the interaction of basic and applied memory research laboratory investigation of real world memory problems and solutions of everyday problems using theoretical concepts derived from basic memory research. The first section illustrates why collaboration between basic and applied memory researchers should be beneficial and provides guidelines for avoiding some of the pitfalls. The second and third sections present some of the most significant contemporary findings by researchers whose work is basic-yet-applicable or applied-yet-theoretically-based. Students and professional memory researchers will find the substantive results to be provocative and theoretically engaging making the information presented in this volume invaluable.
