This book provides a state-of-the-art overview of the popularity of
basic income among the general public. Using data from a wide array of
public opinion polls conducted in different countries and years, the
book first charts popular support for the ideal-typical version of
basic income, broadly defined as a "periodic cash payment
unconditionally delivered to all on an individual basis, without
means-test or work requirement”. On top of that, the book maps
popular support for the many other, differently designed varieties of
basic income that are part of real-world proposals, pilots, and
experiments – including, for example, a participation income, a
negative income tax, and a stakeholder grant. By investigating how and
why support for different types of basic income varies across
countries, evolves over time, and differs between individuals with
different characteristics, this book offers crucial information about
the political constituencies that can be mobilized in favor of (or
against) the introduction of basic income, thereby contributing to our
knowledge on the political feasibility of basic income.
