Annie Lowrey Β· 2018
83/100
πŸ‘ Worth It

Annie Lowrey travels the world to actually watch cash-transfer experiments play out, then lays the evidence on the table honestly, warts and all. It's a serious, well-reported look at universal basic income rather than a personal how-to guide, but if you want to understand a real policy idea shaping the future of work, this is a genuinely strong pick.
