16.Yüzyıldan 21.Yüzyıla Temel Gelir Düşüncesinin Yeniden Doğuşu

Abstract

İnsan, bireysel ve toplumsal ihtiyaçlarının karşılanabilmesi için varoluşu ile birlikte sürekli belirli bir gelire ihtiyaç duymaktadır. Söz konusu gereksinimlerini karşılayabilmek için elde edilmesi gereken mal ve hizmetlere ulaşmada kullanılacak geliri birey, üretim faaliyetine katılarak elde etmek zorundadır. Ancak devletin tüm bireylere belirli bir tutarda minimum bir geliri garanti etmesi gerektiği fikri de geçmişten bu yana azımsanmayacak düzeyde savunulmaktadır. Bu kapsamda çalışmada, ilk olarak 16. Yüzyılda ortaya atılan temel gelir uygulaması incelenmiştir. Söz konusu temel gelir tartışmaları ve uygulamaları tarihsel bir perspektif içinde ele alınmış ve temel gelir uygulamalarına örnek teşkil eden ülke örnekleri üzerinden konu ayrıntılandırılmıştır.
