Description: Independence, Propertylessness, and Basic Income argues that philosophers have focused too much on scalar freedom and proposes a theory of status freedom as effective control self-ownership: the power to have or refuse active cooperation with other willing people, or simply: freedom as the power to say no.

Review Quotes:

"This book is many things: an exercise in political economy; a textbook on philosophy and social ethics; and a sustained argument for a Citizen's Income: and it is an excellent example of all of them . . . This is an important contribution to the literature on universal benefits, and therefore to the debate that might one day lead to their extension to working age adults." - Citizen's Income
