Compares workfare policies in the US and Western Europe aimed at the 'workless' population. Argues that despite differences in ideology and practice, there are also significant similarities, especially field-level practices that serve to exclude the most vulnerable. Examines strategies for reform and concludes with an argument for basic income guarantee.
