Zero Poverty Society (2024)
This book examines how rich societies can guarantee a decent minimum income for all, enabling dignity and social participation. Written by Ive Marx and Sarah Marchal, it builds on original empirical analysis to assess minimum income protection and debates around targeting, means-testing, non-take-up, behavioural economics, and basic income. The book connects to the AIPRIL research agenda by exploring how policy design can prevent poverty through context-sensitive and effective welfare measures.
