Jordan is drowning in the energy around him. Max is toeing the line that separates expectations from his dreams. And then there's Aurora, the misfit with an orphan soul desperately searching for goodness in the world. Inching further away from adolescence and closer to their adult lives, all that is certain is nothing at all. But in an unscripted season of life, these unlikely comrades are brought to a place of rapid healing and growth in their unity with one another as they figure out their place in this world.

Inequality is up. Decent work is down. Free market fundamentalism has been exposed as a tragic failure. In a job market upended by COVID-19--with Canadians caught in the grip of precarious labour, stagnant wages, a climate crisis, and the steady creep of automation--an ever-louder chorus of voices calls for a liveable and obligation-free basic income. Could a basic income guarantee be the way forward to democratize security and intervene where the market economy and social programs fail? Jamie Swift and Elaine Power scrutinize the politics and the potential behind a radical proposal in a post-pandemic world: that wealth should be built by a society, not individuals. And that we all have an unconditional right to a fair share. In these pages, Swift and Power bring to the forefront the deeply personal stories of Canadians who participated in the 2017-2019 Ontario Basic Income Pilot; examine the essential literature and history behind the movement; and answer basic income's critics from both the right and left.
