dc.descriptionCertain admirable people are campaigning for the institution of a basic income grant (BIG) in South Africa as the main policy to combat poverty. In a number of respects their arguments are persuasive, but alas, good intentions and good credentials alone are not enough. Prior research is essential before an informed decision is possible concerning the wisdom of such a large and ongoing transfer of resources. That research has not been completed yet, nor initiated in some instances.
