A 15-hour work week sounds too good to be true. Especially when many Australians work excessive hours , often for no additional pay, and struggle with the cost of living.

Yet economist John Maynard Keynes suggested in 1930 that the work week would be whittled to 15 hours by 2030, according to Dutch writer and historian Rutger Bregman. A United States Senate committee report in the mid-1960s predicted the work week would be down to just 14 hours by 2000, with at least seven weeks off a year. SHARE

Three members of the Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS) Young Academic Network — Frederick Harry Pitts, Lorena Lombardozzi, and Neil Warner — have published a study on basic income, entitled “Beyond Basic Income: Overcoming the Crisis of Social Democracy?”

The full paper can be read and downloaded here .

Abstract Across Europe, a crisis of social democracy prevails. Deindustrialisation precipitates a breakdown of the communities, institutions and interests that held the social democratic and labour movements together. A collapse in everyday life passes over into a steady decline in the electoral realm. Elsewhere, a crisis of social reproduction […]

I believe Norway has instituted it, and Y-Combinator is finding a study. I like the idea of studying it before any large scale attempt. But some of the validity is based on the theoretical application of proxy type data, just the flaws of entitlement programs, and the inevitable nature of technology.

But when I say there is validity, I don’t mean it’s a definitive answer but it’s a valid measure to look into.

Slack chief executive Stewart Butterfield has thrown his weight behind the basic income movement, joining such illustrious company as Bill Gates, Tesla boss Elon Musk, and Y Combinator president Sam Altman.

“Doesn’t have to be much, but giving people even a very small safety net would unlock a huge amount of entrepreneurialism,” Mr Butterfield tweeted recently.
He went on to suggest that the billions spent on university education around the world each year would be put to better use if given directly to individuals as a an unconditional payment. If choosing between free healthcare, free university […]

Agreed, but as it’s set up now, it’s almost rational for them to take entitlements, but the problem is that the only way to keep them is by not working. So at least with a UBI, and no entitlement state, they (and everybody else) isrnot penalized for working and doing more.

Breesus quote:The worry I have is that people will keep wanting more and more money and/or bring back welfare also, thus making it way more expensive than it was originally meant to be. Ding ding ding..Give them a jobs. There is plenty of shite we need done […]

Universal Basic Income Stands Alongside the Ones in Need

Earlier this year, Finland decided to promote a new tactic to tackle the growing unemployment rate his country was beginning to suffer. The Finnish government idea consisted in giving a benefit to those who were out of work at the moment. It might sound a regular benefit that could be found in other countries around the globe, but in this case it was a bit more special.

Even if those lucky ones sought to find a job and actually got it, they were still receiving the money. The idea, implemented for the […]
