Abstract:
Introducing a citizen's income would need society to change; we need a wider debate about the modern welfare state, says Chris Goulden. Just before a general election is not typically the time to float big ideas. But as the parties battle over a sometimes narrow policy agenda, some credit should be given to those trying to get us all to think differently about the big questions affecting the modern state. A citizen's income (CI) is an idea that has been around for a long time, but has recently gained more attention following proposals by the Green Party to consider it as a major reform to welfare.
