520 $aImagine the United States scrapped all its income transfer programs--Social Security, Medicare, and all forms of welfare--and gave every American age 21 and older $10,000 a year for life. This is the Plan, a radical new approach to social policy that defies any partisan label, first laid out a decade ago by Charles Murray. The updated edition reflects economic developments since then, demonstrates that the Plan is financially feasible, and argues that it would better serve many goals of the welfare state. In Our Hands offers a new way to think about how to achieve a society in which everyone, including the unluckiest among us, has the opportunity and means to construct a satisfying life--$cBack cover.
