An Efficiency Argument for the Guaranteed Income
Authors Karl Widerquist and Michael A. Lewis use a "multischool" approach to poverty policy, asking the following question: Given the many proposed causes for poverty, and the conflicting theories about how potential solutions would work, what conclusions can we draw about policy? They conclude that the guaranteed income is the most efficient and comprehensive policy to address poverty.
