Many governments today are engaged in far-reaching programs of 'welfare reform'. But what would a just program of welfare reform consist in? Is the current emphasis on linking welfare 'rights' to 'responsibilities' justifiable? In this book, Stuart White reconsiders the principles of economic citizenship appropriate to a democratic society, and explores the radical implications of these principles for public policy. According to White, justice demands that economic cooperation satisfy a standard of 'fair reciprocity'. Against a background of institutions that are sufficiently just in other respects, those citizens who share in the social product have an obligation to make a productive contribution back to the community in return: every citizen should 'do her bit'. While prominent in the work of many past egalitarian thinkers, this duty to contribute has not received much attention in recent political theory. White seeks to redress this neglect, and to show why and how the claims of reciprocity should be integrated with other important concerns that have featured more prominently in recent literature. These include the concerns to prevent brute luck disadvantage and economic vulnerability. From the standpoint of fair reciprocity, it is not necessarily unjust to link welfare rights with the performance of work-related responsibilities. But the justice of such a linkage depends on how far economic institutions meet other requirements of justice. In policy terms, fair reciprocity thus calls for a generous 'civic minimum' in which work-related welfare benefits are complemented by other policies designed to prevent poverty and vulnerability, secure opportunity for meaningful work, and eliminate class-based inequalities in educational opportunity and inherited wealth. In concluding, White contests the fashionable view that egalitarian reform is unfeasible in contemporary circumstances. The philosophy of fair reciprocity provides the basis for a new public conversation about economic citizenship, in which all citizens - not just those currently amongst the welfare poor - are encouraged to confront their responsibility to others.

A question at rest in most nations, but not yet in the United States, is how one gains citizenship as of right. Clearly the right, in the United States as elsewhere, is gained at birth, as a birthright. The open question is: What are the circumstances of birth that give rise to citizenship? Case law is thin and scholarly commentary is divided. One claim is that birth on United States soil by itself confers citizenship. This metric is said to be historically determined, according to the (royalist) measure of "subject-ship" (jus soli per Calvin's Case) that preceded the American Revolution. The competing claim considers (as does most of the world) that a purely geographically determined citizenship is arbitrary, in that it requires no meaningful relation with the US as condition to citizenship. This second claim would dispel arbitrariness by positing a substantial relation with the US as an element of birthright citizenship, which relation is identified as one of "allegiance and consent". The history that underlies our supposed adoption of jus soli has its flaws. And as the second claim requires that birth be within a substantial relation with the United States, this claim better meets the conditions set by constitutional text, that of the Fourteenth Amendment as it provides citizenship to "All persons born in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof". As shown by ordinary heuristics, the "subject to the jurisdiction" condition entails a meaningful affiliation with the United States. This affiliation, though, is not well determined by allegiance and consent. These terms are not consistent with the leading case nor are they entirely consistent with baseline notions respecting the obligations of a sovereign to those who would be citizens. The appropriate baseline is better seen as one of "fairness", of fairness as reciprocity. Fairness as thus determined does not consist of a deontologically determined set of obligations and rights. Rather, fairness is more flexibly and generously built out of some better parts of human nature, parts essential to what recent scholarship identifies as the "civic minimum" in the liberal democratic state.

Analyzing wage policies and the political ideas that underlie them, including the irony of an Iraq funding bill leading to a minimum wage increase, this book compares not only Federal but State minimum wage policies and those of Britain as well. Going beyond the debate on public expenditure programs, the author examines the future of the "welfare state"? not from a perspective of entitlement but of citizenship in a public polity.

Debate on the desirability, feasibility and implementation of a Citizen’s Basic Income – an unconditional, nonwithdrawable and regular income for every individual – is increasingly widespread among academics, policymakers, and the general public. There are now numerous introductory books on the subject, and others on particular aspects of it. This book provides something new: It studies the Citizen’s Basic Income proposal from a variety of different disciplinary perspectives: the economics of Citizen’s Basic Income, the sociology of Citizen’s Basic Income, the politics of Citizen’s Basic Income, and so on. Each chapter discusses the academic discipline, and relevant aspects of the debate, and asks how the discipline enhances our understanding, and how the Citizen’s Basic Income debate might contribute to the academic discipline.
