"Ours offers an elegant, market-based solution to inequality that is hiding in plain sight. It's not subsidies or tax credits, just smart and fair management of wealth we inherit together. Thomas Paine pointed the way two centuries ago; Peter Barnes shows how to do it today."Chuck Collins, author of The Wealth Hoarders"Whether on the political right or left, thoughtful people should support the core idea of this exciting book - a trust fund for providing everybody with basic income security."Guy Standing, SOAS University of London
