In a new publication Cash in Hand, Marc Doussard, Jurgen De Wispelaere and Joe Chrisp make the case for basic income as a policy solution that reinvigorates left-behind places. Often only viewed as a national policy, recent initiatives and debates open up the idea of basic income being introduced by municipalities and regions. The fit between basic income and this agenda is more than aspirational. Worldwide, regions and municipalities are leading the way in experimenting with basic income and other unconditional cash transfers. Cash in Hand guides readers through the theory, evidence and practical politics of basic income as regional policy.
