Universal Basic Income - For and Against: Foreword by Robert P. Murphy, Phd., Afterword by Dominic Frisby
With the accelerating onset of automation, the loss of manufacturing jobs in the west, a spiralling rise in income inequality, and the obvious failure of our welfare systems to provide those at the bottom of the economic ladder with a clear path out of poverty, many are looking for an alternative approach that will meet everyone's needs and guarantee them a dignified standard of living.Most prominent among these approaches is the Universal Basic Income (UBI) or Basic Income Guarantee (BIG). The idea is simple. Each and every citizen will be entitled to a sum of money from the government - regardless of their income or occupation. Not a huge sum of money, but enough to ensure that their basic...

Debating Universal Basic Income
This book presents the most compelling arguments for and against implementing a basic income guarantee today, in the voice of proponents and critics, in alternating chapters. Tables, figures, and pictures illustrate the key concepts and evidence, which include benefit cliffs and disincentive deserts, time series macroeconomic data, business, economic, and technological change (BETC), artificial intelligence and other general purpose technologies, along with advanced robotics, the environmental Kuznets Curve, income distributions, democracy, social justice, dependence, autonomy, and economic freedom. A neutral, non-partisan tone introduction defines UBI and covers the history of universal income plans, while the conclusion summarizes the main arguments for and against UBI before surveying alternative policies, including universal basic asset, credit, service, job, and training plans.
Abundance, Generosity, and the State
Human action is usually driven by the desire to obtain more for less, and, ideally something for nothing. This has sometimes been called the economic principle. The wish to “get free stuff” pervades all times and places, all sectors of the economy, all ages, and all social backgrounds. The very selfishness for which the market economy is often chided is, at bottom, a universal quest to obtain goods for free. Jörg Guido Hülsmann sets out to explore the boundaries of this endeavor. He investigates the nature, forms, causes, and consequences of gratuitous goods and concludes that they thrive within a free economy. But generosity and gratuitous abundance tend to be undermined and reversed by central banking and the welfare state. Dr Hülsmann is a professor of economics at the University of Angers in France. He is also a Senior Fellow of the Mises Institute and a corresponding member of the Pontifical Academy for Life.

Hero Worship
The story of a hard working, nice, quiet boy who doesn't seem to be so great at making friends; even though he can name all 130 members of the Avengers. But deep down he's a superhero, desperate to discover his secret powerand earn his origin story. An original one man show; funny from the get go, occasionally heart-warming, saddening, dramatic, poetic and ultimately uplifting. The tale of a grown orphan who spent his weekends writing letters to Peter Parker, being jolted out of the fantasy-land of comics by his unannounced side-kick - a lost dog. Accessible to all: from the most seasoned comic fan to people who wouldn't know Spider-man if they found him stuck in their bath. Suitable for all ages.
Attack the System
Preston offers a substantive critique of not only his fellow anarchists, but of the condition of Western civilization itself, and introduces his visionary tactic of "pan-secessionism" as a means of developing mutual cooperation between resistance movements with widely varying cultural and ideological values. .
A Gold New Deal
These essays reflect the commitment of libertarians who recognize that our political structure has drifted over time away from its purpose of protecting the rights of individuals. As the philosophical descendants of those who founded this nation with a government formed for this singular legitimacy, we recommit to the decentralization of authority, the limitation of representative power, and the creation of a new relationship between us and the government we will tolerate. Essayists include Daniel Donnelly, Irene Mavrakakis, Dennis Consorte, Russell O. Paige, Aleksandar Svetski, Adolfo Jiminez, J. Stratton Lobdell, Joel Extine, Max Borders, Larry Sharpe, Antony Sammeroff, Mike ter Maat and LISA, the Libertarian Intelligence System Application.
