Bootstraps Need Boots: One Tory's Lonely Fight to End Poverty in Canada by Hugh Segal
3.0
I liked the beginning - it was interesting to read about Hugh Segal’s early life in Montreal and some of the events that shaped his thinking.
And I liked the end (the last 2 chapters or so), where he talked about the basic income pilot in Ontario.
But the middle. I had to drag myself, page by page, through stories of senate sub-committee meetings... not my thing.
I thought the book would have more about the theory of guaranteed income and different approaches to implementing it. I’d like to read about that so will need to keep looking.
