Abstract

VIII: Financing the Plan
Theobald, Robert | May 11, 1963 issue

add to cart   close window

An Economic Security Plan calling for a guaranteed economic floor under every member of society and provision for substantial incomes for some has an air of luxury unattainable with the means presently at the people's disposal. But such a security plan is not a superstructure imposed upon the existing system and calling for vast new expenditures; it is merely a rearrangement of the income provisions for the total society. The financing of the initial levels of incomes under a plan would not call for large increases in government revenues. Nor would such a plan make any major demand on scarce resources.
