<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Independence, Propertylessness, and Basic Income argues that philosophers have focused too much on scalar freedom and proposes a theory of status freedom as effective control self-ownership: the power to have or refuse active cooperation with other willing people, or simply: freedom as the power to say no.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"This book is many things: an exercise in political economy; a textbook on philosophy and social ethics; and a sustained argument for a Citizen's Income: and it is an excellent example of all of them . . . This is an important contribution to the literature on universal benefits, and therefore to the debate that might one day lead to their extension to working age adults." - Citizen's Income</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Karl Widerquist is Associate Professor at the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar.
