Abstract
A review of the three basic income (BI) models and accompanying frameworks for creating a decent BI are presented in this chapter. A differentiation between positive and counterproductive BI proposals is made, particularly regarding the manner in which social services are treated in contrasting proposals. A wholesale approach to cutting public programmes is rejected as a financing model. Each chapter is then reviewed in this context, demonstrating how each achieves a progressive BI true to the definition of the concept.
