Social paternalism and basic income
本文从哲学角度讨论家长制，提出“社会家长制”概念，并论证基本收入可抵押为一次性资本补助，填补了基本收入理论文献的空白。
This article offers a philosophical discussion of paternalism. First, it establishes the relevance to basic income of the concept of ‘paternalism’. Second, it provides an overview and critique of the main philosophical schools of paternalism. Third, it argues in favour of a version of soft/weak paternalism, which is here termed ‘social paternalism’. Fourth, it reviews the main positions that advocates of various paternalisms might take towards basic income. Finally, it defends a proposal to allow a basic income stream to be ‘mortgaged’ into lumpsum capital grants. The article therefore fills an important gap in the theoretical literature pertaining to basic income.
