Abstract
The present book review offers an overview of the structure, main conclusions, and strengths of "Experimenting with Unconditional Basic Income, Lessons from the Finnish BI Experiment 2017-2018". This review shows how the book greatly contributes to the social policy scholarship, but also to the BI literature. The accessibility of the book makes it a useful tool to understand the different steps of social experiment designing and evaluation. The diversity of the twelve contributions also allows for a comprehensive appreciation of the consequences of granting a basic income of 560€ to 2,000 people.
