This book has two primary goals, which together may bring two seemingly opposed schools of thought together around the policy of the Basic Income Guarantee (BIG). The first is the goal of reminding contemporary Austrian school economists the extent to which the founders and heroes of their school favored policies of this sort, and how well it fits within the Austrian school economic framework. The second is to expose market socialist thinkers, political philosophers, and all flavors of heterodox economist to the positive features of the Austrian school framework, including its insights regarding the features of markets that should be retained in any market socialist or interventionist proposal.
