Kritik
"Widerquist's book ... arguments about the usefulness of experiments and about how they should be carried out, but it will be essential reading for anyone planning an experiment. It is an important contribution to the Citizen's Basic Income literature." (Citizen's Income newsletter, Issue 2, 2019)mehr
