Abstract

The typical intellectual debate around Basic Income Guarantees (BIGs) is premised on existing nation-state political debates which, at bottom, are zero-sum. Within the nation-state a BIG would be financed by means of tax revenues. Taxes are levied on some groups and the revenues are used for the BIG. In this context, the debate over BIGs is one manifestation of a debate over whether or not the state should be redistributing wealth, with partisans of social justice saying “yes” and libertarians and others usually saying “no.”
