"Few income distribution mechanisms are as strikingly original or widely discussed as the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend. Written by first-rate experts, this volume offers the first comprehensive overview of its history, operation, achievements, and limits. This book could not have been more timely, as new tax-and-transfer models are being considered, tried, and discussed throughout the world." - Yannick Vanderborght, professor of Political Science, Facultes Saint-Louis Brussels & Louvain University, Belgium
"A wide-ranging and enjoyable romp through a great deal of intellectual territory . . . An excellent and long overdue examination of a significant and unique government program." - Eastern Economic Journal
