Synopsis

Award-winning journalist Roderick Benns spent more than two years with one key purpose – using advocacy journalism to get leaders across Canada talking about the potential of a basic income guarantee. From Federal Ministers, Senators, and Members of Parliament, to political party leaders, and mayors across Canada, Benns used his progressive news site to relentlessly interview as many leaders as possible to help agitate for basic income policy in Canada. Here, in one collection, is every story and Q & A that he personally wrote or conducted on basic income over a two year period -- more than 70,000 words of ideas, analysis, and reportage on one of the most important social policy questions of our time – how should governments respond in a world of uncertain work and rising inequality? *Updated in 2017 to reflect a new basic income announcement from the Ontario government.
