Born shortly before the Great Depression, she eagerly walked to church services every morning as a child, moved when her parents could no longer afford their home, and saw her four brothers go off to World War II. As a young mother in the 60’s, she watched race riots and social upheaval. She studied Russian as a hobby throughout the Cold War. She was middle-aged during the Viet Nam War and the U.S. debates whether a basic income guarantee should give everyone should a fair shot while preserving private enterprise.
Her memories of the catastrophic consequences of economic failure, world conflict, and social inequity made her yearn for a belief system that would help people want to make the world better not only for themselves, their own descendants, and their own people, but also for any random individual born in the future into any circumstances in the world. She did in fact develop such a belief system, naming it Infinitism.
Then, following her own Infinitist ideals, she thought hard about how the systems of the world could be changed so that whatever lot a person was born into, that person would have his best possible life. Her solutions hinge on universal basic income (UBI), which both aids and is aided by the changes in community and world government she also proposes.
She is now in her 90’s. Although she wrote this book three decades ago, she still hopes fervently that its ideas will help people. She’s publishing this second edition, along with a new Foreword to put it into historical perspective, in hopes that you will join in on imagining, and working toward, the creation of One Dear Land.ver menos
