About the book

In Our Hands

This is a bold, provocative blueprint for rethinking the welfare state, where AEI scholar Charles Murray makes the case for replacing Social Security, Medicare, and all welfare programs with a universal basic income of $10,000 a year for every adult, using rigorous analysis to show how this radical social policy could fight poverty, reduce inequality, simplify government programs, secure retirement and healthcare, and expand economic freedom and social mobility, giving every American, left or right, the means to build a satisfying life. 


Imagine that the United States were to scrap all its income transfer programs—including Social Security, Medicare, and all forms of welfare—and give every American age twenty-one and older $10,000 a year for life.This is the Plan, a radical new approach to social policy that defies any partisan label. First laid out by Charles Murray a decade ago, the updated edition reflects economic developments since that time. Murray, who previous books include Losing Ground and The Bell Curve, demonstrates that the Plan is financially feasible and the uses detailed analysis to argue that many goals of the welfare state—elimination of poverty, comfortable retirement for everyone, universal access to healthcare—would be better served under the Plan than under the current system. Murray’s goal, shared by Left and Right, is a society in which everyone, including the unluckiest among us, has the opportunity and means to construct a satisfying life. In Our Hands offers a rich and startling new way to think about how that goal
