A clear, game-changing look at social reform and a national minimum income.
This book argues for a practical path to a fairer society, focusing on how a state bonus could raise living standards and reduce poverty.
This edition analyzes how health, housing, education, and morality are linked to economic policy. It surveys historical reforms and the wartime disruptions that shaped new ideas, then outlines a plan for a “reasonable revolution” achieved through political action rather than strikes.

- Discusses how a minimum income could improve child welfare and national well-being.
- Addresses concerns about work incentives, illegitimacy, and governance of child money.
- Argues for a practical, rights-based argument for economic reform.
Ideal for readers seeking a historically grounded, accessible argument for social reform and economic rights.
