Summary/Abstract: The reviewed book aims to present the main arguments for the introduction of the unconditional basic income (UBI) to Czech readers and to present selected research and experience of the testing of this concept worldwide. According to the reviewer, however, this ambition fell short of expectations: although the book can be recommended as a readable and unpretentious initial insight into the issue, it does not introduce anything new to the discussion. This is a pity since the publication had the potential to address contentious Czech views on the UBI and thus to open up a factual and relevant debate on this issue in the Czech environment.
