Exporting the Alaska Model cover

This timely book examines how the "Alaska model" can be adapted for use elsewhere, examining issues of implementation and showing that this model can be employed even in resource-poor areas in the industrialized and in the industrializing world.

"The Alaska Permanent Fund has reached its 30th anniversary and is one of the world's unsung innovations in social and economic policy. It offers a route to income redistribution and prompts realistic thoughts of more ambitious schemes to provide universal basic income security. This book is an important contribution to what should be a much more widespread debate about the Fund's role and potential." - Guy Standing, professor of Economic Security, University of Bath

"A wide-ranging and enjoyable romp through a great deal of intellectual territory . . . An excellent and long overdue examination of a significant and unique government program." - Eastern Economic Journal
