| Resumen: |
Al menos seis experimentos diferentes de Renta Básica Universal (RBU) están en marcha o planificados en este momento en los Estados Unidos, Canadá, el Reino Unido, Finlandia y Kenia. Varios paÃses más están considerando realizar experimentos. Sin embargo, parece haber más interés simplemente en realizar experimentos de RBU que en exactamente qué queremos aprender de ellos. Aunque los experimentos pueden producir muchos datos relevantes sobre la RBU, su capacidad para iluminar nuestra comprensión de las grandes preguntas que influyen en la discusión sobre si implementar la RBU como una polÃtica nacional o regional es crucialmente limitada. Y la experiencia pasada muestra que los resultados de los experimentos de la RBU son particularmente vulnerables a los malentendidos, el sensacionalismo y las tergiversaciones. Este libro examina las dificultades de llevar a cabo un experimento de RBU e informar los resultados de manera que mejoren con éxito la comprensión pública de los probables efectos de una RBU nacional. El libro hace recomendaciones sobre cómo investigadores, periodistas, ciudadanos y formuladores de polÃticas pueden evitar estos problemas y aprovechar al máximo los experimentos de la RBU. |

| Summary : |
At least six different Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments are underway or planned right now in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Finland, and Kenya. Several more countries are considering conducting experiments. Yet, there seems to be more interest simply in having UBI experiments than in exactly what we want to learn from them. Although experiments can produce a lot of relevant data about UBI, they are crucially limited in their ability to enlighten our understanding of the big questions that bear on the discussion of whether to implement UBI as a national or regional policy. And, past experience shows that results of UBI experiments are particularly vulnerable misunderstanding, sensationalism, and spin. This book examines the difficulties of conducting a UBI experiment and reporting the results in ways that successfully improve public understanding of the probable effects of a national UBI. The book makes recommendations how researchers, reporters, citizens, and policymakers can avoid these problems and get the most out of UBI experiments. |
