Top 10 Basic Income Videos of 2017

I’ve done a top ten list of basic income articles for both 2016 & 2017 , but this is the first time I’ve put together a top ten list of basic income videos.

This is a long post but the last (and longest) section is a repost from about 5 months ago for background support. The goal of this was to take a positive look at a Universal Basic Income and how it could affect our society if implemented.

UK: Steven Davies reviews Rutger Bregman’s “Utopia for Realists”

We ought to have deeper conversations about […]
