In Give a Man a Fish James Ferguson examines the rise of social welfare programs in southern Africa, in which states make cash payments to their low income citizens. More than thirty percent of South Africa's population receive such payments, even as pundits elsewhere proclaim the neoliberal death of the welfare state. These programs' successes at reducing poverty under conditions of mass unemployment, Ferguson argues, provide an opportunity for rethinking contemporary capitalism and for developing new forms of political mobilization. Interested in an emerging "politics of distribution," Ferguson shows how new demands for direct income payments (including so-called "basic income") require us to reexamine the relation between production and distribution, and to ask new questions about markets, livelihoods, labor, and the future of progressive politics.
1)討論有關「無條件基本收入」的議題,提出的設想以及前面幾章的論證非常精彩有趣,但需要注意的是,作者的假設至少建立在兩點之上,即存在大量過剩的勞動力,和互相依賴的(interdependncy)的歷史傳統,且這個假設還需要時間的檢驗(作者很狡猾地在結論部分才確實坦承這一點),畢竟南非和納米比亞的例子恐怕也不見得已經成功,頁193舉的瑞士的例子,已經在2016年被否決了;2)相同論述在不同章節點翻來覆去地重複,好啰嗦,頁150引了張鸝的strangers in the city,這麼多年過去了,作者再舉「浙江村」的例子,恐怕已經不能代表所謂的contemporary china了吧。。。
