Policymakers in three presidential administrations tried to replace the nation's welfare system with a program to guarantee Americans' economic security. This book tells the story - from why such a policy idea developed to the factors that sealed its fate. It shows that some of the most potent obstacles to guaranteed income plans were cultural.
