Coming soon! After years of work, I submitted my book on the #history of #cashtransfers to my editor. The volume documents 2500 years of practices worldwide and explores how past experiences still influence today's debates. Hope it will be of interest and stay tuned for news!

This is simply an extraordinary study. Researchers gave $7,500 (CAD) to homeless people in Vancouver. The result? The program *saved* money. It helped many of them to move into housing faster, which saved the shelter system $8,277 per person. 🧵👇
👏 @LibbySchaaf is right: there's nothing radical about lifting people out of poverty. It's what needs to be done, especially with child poverty on the rise while incomes go down. #GuaranteedIncomeWorks
