Why a basic income is not enough to counteract automation and what should be done

Why a basic income is not enough to counteract automation and what should be done

I’m for basic income in a world where we’ve solved all of society’s problems and eliminated scarcity, but it is not a solution to fix inherent problems with the system. Prices are the way they are for a reason. Housing is so high in certain areas because of scarcity. When supply is limited it doesn’t matter how much money people have. Everyone could be millionaires. The prices of housing will reflect the highest bidders. The solution to housing is not to give money. It’s to build more houses. It goes on for most problems. Why has working become a […]

Do not call Kenyans beggars, give them global basic income

Elderly people follow during the launch of Inua Jamii cash transfer programme in Nyeri in 2017. FILE PHOTO | NATION MEDIA GROUP It has become bloody, murderous and dangerous, where crooks are inspired to go into politics to steal as quickly and as much as possible to enrich themselves.

As a result, apart from the Capital Gains Tax, neither group produced any significant ideas for new taxes or system wide structural changes.

Neither considered the possibilities for Basic Incomes (BI) to be joined with supporting tax or taxes to produce a fairer and more effective […]

How social housing providers can work with government to achieve success

While the issue of social housing has long been a challenging hurdle for both governments and private providers alike, growing political turmoil both at home and abroad has raised the need for new solutions.

With political challenges affecting several countries worldwide including mounting refugee crises, the possibility of a tumultuous exit on Britain’s behalf from the European Union, and the possibilities of economic downturns, social housing still has a stigma to lose before it can help be improved.

Private organisations are well equipped to face down these challenges, but new problems require new approaches. Change at home and abroad With […]

Tackling farm distress is high priority

Tackling farm distress is high priority

Narendra Modi’s overwhelming win has pushed the burning issues around agrarian distress on the back burner; but once the victory euphoria dies down, these will be pushing for recognition again.
A crash in prices of farm produce and the demand for remunerative prices, and waiver of back-breaking loans are some of the issues staring the new government in the face. The interim budget recognised the distress by hiking the allocation for agriculture from `56,000 crore to over `1.4 lakh crore, taking the outlay to a record 5.2 percent of the budget. Among the highlights of the farm budget […]
