Universal Basic Income in Historical Perspective
This new edited collection brings together historians and social scientists to engage with the global history of Universal Basic Income (UBI) and offer historically-rich perspectives on contemporary debates about the future of work. In particular, the book goes beyond a genealogy of a seemingly utopian idea to explore how the meaning and reception of basic income proposals has changed over time. The study of UBI provides a prism through which we can understand how different intellectual traditions, political agents, and policy problems have opened up space for new thinking about work and welfare at critical moments. Contributions range broadly across time and space, from Milton Friedman and ...
Roads Not Taken
Using a range of in-depth historical case studies, this timely work excavates the oft-forgotten tradition of progressive populism and highlights the relevance of such movements to our own tumultuous times. Populism in its 21st-century guise is often centered around exclusionary notions of nationality and the exultation of an authoritarian leader. Yet, as this book demonstrates, this has not always been the case. As demonstrated by the Levellers in the English Civil War and the Sans-Culottes in the French Revolution, the ideas of progressive populism have often surfaced in the midst of revolution where they have sought to ensure that revolutions do not deviate from their lofty ideals. Progres...
Migration, New Nationalisms and Populism
This book examines the antagonistic relationship between new European nationalisms as these often go hand-in-hand with populism, and the phenomenon of migration. Migration has become a significant issue both in Europe and the whole world. Although it has always existed, much of public opinion sees it now as a problem. The latter has been exaggerated through a crisis in hospitality exacerbated by the relatively recently constructed and misplaced feeling of a civilisational threat from islam. Migration is then countered by the escalation of new nationalisms, at least some of which are supported by populism. This book offers an understanding of this conjunction of migration and nationalism in t...
Black Forest Wolfman
For military police captain Hannes Solo, every day is a battle—against bullies, inner demons, and a society that prizes genetic purity above all else. Born an albino without the backing of a powerful clan, Hannes has always walked a razor's edge. But when his foster father and mentor, Hagen Winter, calls on him to investigate a string of gruesome murders deep in the Black Forest, Hannes is thrust into a chilling conspiracy that shatters the very foundations of his world. Set in the dystopian society of Greater Germany in the 2180s, Black Forest Wolfman is a gripping tale of survival, secrets, and a man's struggle to confront his fate—one way or another. Content Warning: This novel contains mature themes like grimdark dystopian oppression, graphic violence, sexual violence, and depictions of traumatic events. Not suitable for readers under 18 or the faint-hearted. Reader discretion is advised.
