Bootstraps Need Boots: One Tory’s Lonely Fight to End Poverty in Canada
Autor Hugh Segalen Limba Engleză Hardback – noi 2019
For
more
than
four
decades,
Hugh
Segal
has
been
one
of
the
leading
voices
of
progressive
conservatism
in
Canada.
A
self-described
Red
Tory
warrior
who
disdains
“bootstrap”
approaches
to
poverty,
he
has
always
promoted
policies,
especially
a
basic
annual
income,
to
help
the
most
economically
vulnerable.
Why
would
a
life-long
Tory
support
something
so
radical?
In
this
revealing
memoir,
Segal
shares
how
his
life
and
experiences
brought
him
to
this
most
unlikely
of
places,
beginning
with
his
childhood
in
a
poor
immigrant
family
in
Montreal
to
his
time
as
a
chief
of
staff
for
Prime
Minister
Mulroney
and
to
his
more
recent
work
as
an
advisor
on
a
basic
income
pilot
project
for
the
Ontario
Liberal
government.
This
book
is
a
passionate
argument
not
only
for
why
a
basic
annual
income
makes
economic
sense,
but
for
why
it
is
the
right
thing
to
do.

"After
a
lifetime
in
Progressive
Conservative
politics,
Hugh
Segal
was
known
as
a
‘Happy
Warrior’
because
of
his
legendary
optimism
and
the
generosity
of
his
vision
for
Canada
and
for
the
under-privileged
in
our
society.
I
have
known
Hugh
extremely
well
for
over
forty
years
and
I
can
say
without
hesitation
that
I
have
never
met
a
more
principled,
thoughtful,
and
effective
practitioner
of
the
political
arts
in
this
splendid
country
of
ours."—The
Right
Honourable
Brian
Mulroney,
18th
Prime
Minister
of
Canada
"In a future where artificial intelligence may change the very nature of work, drastically affecting employment, few ideas are more worthy of study than a guaranteed annual income. And no one is better qualified than Hugh Segal to assess the pros and cons, both because of his wide experience in public policy and his specific knowledge of the Ontario Basic Income plan."—Tom Axworthy, Secretary General of the InterAction Council
