Základní příjem ve světě: Argumenty, experimenty, dějiny I
Review of the book „The basic income worldwide: Arguments, experiments, history“ I

Summary/Abstract: The reviewed book deals with the unconditional basic income (UBI). The first part of the publication provides a summary of the current stage of the international debate on this topic and addresses a number of critical objections. The most comprehensive and useful part of the book covers experiments concerning the practical implementation of the UBI in seventeen countries worldwide. The diversity of the actors and concepts proves that the UBI is being considered in a wide variety of contexts. The final part of the book introduces several historical figures who have addressed the concept of the UBI. The mention of Johannes Vives is particularly noteworthy. According to the reviewer, the publication provides a valuable contribution to the current discussion on the UBI. Although the writing style makes the publication accessible to all, it does not lack profound professional foundations.
