Basic Income Reconsidered
by Simon BirnbaumBasic income is one the most innovative, powerful and controversial proposals for addressing poverty and growing inequalities. This book examines the arguments for and against basic income from the point of view of economic and social justice.
Basic Income and Sovereign Money: The Alternative to Economic Crisis and Austerity Policy
by Geoff Crocker“This is a radical, thought-provoking book, which brings together debates that are often kept separate about basic income and 'sovereign money'. You might not agree with all of it, but it makes big arguments and does so with constructive intent: that of proposing alternative ways of organising our economy and welfare states.”Nick Pearce, Director of The Institute for Policy Research, University of Bath, UK“Though I have criticized modern money theory (MMT) for being too facile regarding the consequences of money financed deficits, I welcome this book’s advocacy of a universal basic income. MMT proponents have focused on the problem of employment. Geoff Crocker wants to shift the focus to basic income, and I believe he is right. We are in an era of transition. Employment was the fundamental problem of the 20th century. Income distribution will be the fundamental problem of the 21st century. We must begin transitioning the policy discourse now. In coming decades we will need both employment and basic income policy. It is good to have MMT advocates on board.”Thomas Palley, independent economist, Washington, DC, USA"Geoff Crocker's book is a very stimulating and provoking contribution to the discussion of how to define, identify, and finance basic income. It addresses very clearly the societal issue of a monetary basic income funding which will excite the discussion beside well --known tax proposals, and establishes the discussion on integrating basic income directly into crisis prevention and crisis solution."Bernhard Neumärker, Götz Werner Professor of Economic Policy & Constitutional Economic Theory and Head of Freiburg Institute for Basic Income Studies (FRIBIS) at the University of FreiburgThe current economic system is dysfunctional, characterised by crises, austerity, excessive household and government debt, low pay, poverty, inequality, and ecological damage. This needs a radical re-think and re-engineering of the economic system. The standard explanation of the 2007 economic crisis is that banks behaved badly and governments failed to regulate. But policies of tighter bank regulation, quantitative easing, and austerity failed, and proved counter-productive. This book challenges this orthodox view. From a careful analysis of long-term economic data, it shows that earned income has inexorably fallen behind economic output, leading to huge increases in consumer debt, causing the crisis. Governments have sought to curtail deficit spending by socially harmful austerity policy. The answer is a universal basic income, funded by debt-free sovereign money, which also funds government social expenditure, always limited by economic output to avoid inflation. This book will appeal to policy makers, academic economists, think tank networks, and everyone who is concerned with the ongoing dysfunctionality of the current economic system.

Basic Needs, Wellbeing and Morality: Fulfilling Human Potential
by Darcia NarvaezBasic needs fulfilment is fundamental to becoming human and reaching one’s potential. Extending the BUCET list proposed by Susan Fiske - which includes belonging, understanding, control/competence, autonomy, self-enhancement, trust, purpose and life satisfaction - this book demonstrates that the fulfilment of basic needs predicts adult physical and mental health, as well as sociality and morality. The authors suggest that meeting basic needs in childhood vitally shapes one’s trajectory for self-actualization, and that initiatives aimed at human wellbeing should include a greater emphasis on early childhood experience. Through contemporaneous and retrospective research in childhood, the authors argue that basic need-fulfilment is key to the development of the self and the possibility of reaching one’s full potential. This book will be of interest to scholars of human wellbeing and societal flourishing, as well as to health workers and educators.
Basic Skills For The New Mediator
by Allan H. GoodmanBASIC SKILLS FOR THE NEW MEDIATOR provides a detailed overview of mediation, from the premediation conference through all stages of the mediation session. It guides the new mediator through the mediation process by answering the one hundred questions most frequently asked by new mediators.

Experienced mediators and attorneys who represent clients in mediation will also find this book extremely useful.

You will learn to establish your authority as a mediator, schedule the mediation session, deliver the mediator's opening statement, prioritize issues, preside during joint sessions, conduct private caucuses, overcome impasses, identify "hidden agenda" and "throwaway" items, deal with parties who lack settlement authority, and aid parties to achieve a viable settlement.
Basic Theories of Intellectual Property Transaction
by Ming YangFrom the perspective of the market, this book discusses the basic theories and operation mechanism of intellectual property transactions based on the behavior choice theory, aiming to deeply understand how the specific systems and rules of intellectual property are operated or applied beyond the external form of system application. China's long-standing intellectual property legal doctrines and the corresponding knowledge system (whether legislative, judicial or theoretical research) deserve reflection in three aspects: (i) the neglect of market principles; (ii) the lack of behaviorism research perspectives and methods, and (iii) the lack of systematic degree of existing research. This book is an introspection on the basic theoretical research of intellectual property in China from the above three aspects. This book closely focuses on the coupling relationship between "system implementation" and "behavior choice," along with the logical context of intellectual property transactions, the institutional mechanism behind the specific transaction forms is investigated, and its benefits are analyzed. And, the essence of the economic mechanism of the intellectual property system is deeply interpreted from both theoretical and practical aspects. The target audience is intellectual property law researcher, and the content level is the theoretical foundation research. Starting from the principles of the entitlement of intellectual property, this book tries to reveal the institutional implication of the creation of right, the boundary of right and the attribute of right. And, this book also tries to sort out the matching attribute between the existing intellectual property systems and the operation of the intellectual property market. Finally, by analyzing the correlation between the market environment and the subject's behavior choice, this book tries to clarify the internal logic between "system," "market" and "behavior." These aforesaid features will help IP researchers deeply understand how existing legal systems and rules affect specific intellectual property transactions.
Basic Trust Drafting
by Stephen Haas Jeremy RovinskyThe second edition of Basic Trust Drafting (formerly titled Trust Drafting for Paralegals) includes coverage of considerable updates to the relevant tax laws, as amended by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. Basic Trust Drafting takes a practical look at a wide variety of problems and concerns faced by clients who solicit elder care and estate planning help. It concentrates on estate tax, Medicaid planning, and creditor protection issues, focusing on the solutions that trusts provide to many common problems. Examples inspired by real life cases are presented to ensure that the information presented is practical and useful. Actual trust provisions are presented as suggestions for how concepts in the text can be put into practice. The text does not delve deeply into the theory behind the applicable rules and does not exhaustively analyze the relevant statutes and cases. Instead, the text is designed to caution the student of what pitfalls to watch for when analyzing a client s case, and to provide a working understanding of the issues most likely to emerge in real life and the starting points for analyzing and solving those issues. Special attention is devoted to enabling the student to interweave common issues so that, to the extent possible, the client does not have to sacrifice one tax or Medicaid planning benefit for another.

Basic Writings
by Robin Small Paul ReeThis book contains the first English translations of The Origin of the Moral Sensations and Psychological Observations, the two most important works by the German philosopher Paul Rée. These essays present Rée's moral philosophy, which influenced the ideas of his close friend Friedrich Nietzsche considerably. Nietzsche scholars have often incorrectly attributed to him arguments and ideas that are Rée's and have failed to detect responses to Rée's works in Nietzsche's writings. Rée's thinking combined two strands: a pessimistic conception of human nature, presented in the French moralists' aphoristic style that would become a mainstay of Nietzsche's own writings, and a theory of morality derived from Darwin's theory of natural selection. Rée's moral Darwinism was a central factor prompting Nietzsche to write On the Genealogy of Morals and the groundwork for much of today's "evolutionary ethics." In an illuminating critical introduction, Robin Small examines Rée's life and work, locating his application of evolutionary concepts to morality within a broader history of Darwinism while exploring Rée's theoretical and personal relationship with Nietzsche. In placing Nietzsche in his intellectual and social context, Small profoundly challenges the myth of Nietzsche as a solitary thinker.

Battering States: The Politics of Domestic Violence in Israel
by Madelaine AdelmanBattering States explores the most personal part of people's lives as they intersect with a uniquely complex state system. The book examines how statecraft shapes domestic violence: how a state defines itself and determines what counts as a family; how a state establishes sovereignty and defends its borders; and how a state organizes its legal system and forges its economy. The ethnography includes stories from people, places, and perspectives not commonly incorporated in domestic violence studies, and, in doing so, reveals the transformation of intimate partner violence from a predictable form of marital trouble to a publicly recognized social problem.The politics of domestic violence create novel entry points to understanding how, although women may be vulnerable to gender-based violence, they do not necessarily share the same kind of belonging to the state. This means that markers of identity and power, such as gender, nationality, ethnicity, religion and religiosity, and socio-economic and geographic location, matter when it comes to safety and pathways to justice.The study centers on Israel, where a number of factors bring connections between the cultural politics of the state and domestic violence into stark relief: the presence of a contentious multinational and multiethnic population; competing and overlapping sets of religious and civil laws; a growing gap between the wealthy and the poor; and the dominant presence of a security state in people's everyday lives. The exact combination of these factors is unique to Israel, but they are typical of states with a diverse population in a time of globalization. In this way, the example of Israel offers insights wherever the political and personal impinge on one another.
