A Response to the Basic Income FAQ – In Five Parts (4/5)

A Response to the Basic Income FAQ – In Five Parts (4/5)

(Nick’s Notes: If you’re looking for the previous part click here , the first and second parts are here and here ) This post and the next one revolve around the political philosophy of anarchism. A lot of my criticisms come from an anarchist perspective which Santens doesn’t really address in his FAQ to begin with. That’s understandable given most of the folks he talks to about the universal basic income (UBI) likely aren’t anarchists. The majority of issues folks have are likely coming from liberal perspectives, conservative ones or some mix of the two.

That said, this article and […]

Simpson, et al, “The Manitoba Basic Annual Income Experiment: Lessons Learned 40 Years Later”

Three University of Manitoba economists, Wayne Simpson, Greg Mason, and Ryan Godwin, have jointly authored a new research paper about the Manitoba Basic Annual Income Experiment (“Mincome”), a trial of a guaranteed income that took place from 1974 to 1979.

The Mincome experiment consisted of randomized studies in Winnipeg and rural Manitoba, as well as a saturation study in the town of Dauphin, where all residents were eligible for participation in the study. Participants received an income supplement that was phased out as personal earnings increased, and several combinations of minimum income level and taxation rates were tested. The […]

Watch Live: Will Universal Basic Income Change Our Lives for Good or Bad?

Each year, robots and artificially intelligence systems cause unemployment rates to increase as more and more jobs become automated. And when you stop to take a look, the numbers are harrowing.

In Canada, a study conducted by the Brookfield Institute for Innovation + Entrepreneurship found that a staggering 40 percent of Canadian jobs will be taken over by machines in the next few decades. In the United Kingdom, a study conducted by Oxford University and Deloitte, a business advisory firm, found that 850,000 public sector jobs in the region will likely be lost by 2030. In Southeast Asia, an estimated […]

Would Proponents Of Universal Basic Income Offer It To Their Own Children?

Would Proponents Of Universal Basic Income Offer It To Their Own Children?

Universal Basic Income, or UBI, is one of the hot policy ideas of the moment. It calls for the federal government to provide every citizen with an unconditional cash stipend sufficient to meet basic needs. Just this week, Harvard University Press released Basic Income: A Radical Proposal for a Free Society and a Sane Economy , a major work by Belgian professors Philippe Van Parijs and Yannick Vanderborght. Tomorrow in Manhattan, Charles Murray and Andy Stern ( both authors of pro-UBI books) will debate former Obama advisors Jason Furman and Jared Bernstein on whether “ the Universal Basic Income […]

Getting basic income right

Universal basic income (UBI) schemes are getting a lot of attention these days. Of course, the idea – to provide all legal residents of a country a standard sum of cash unconnected to work – is not new. The philosopher Thomas More advocated it back in the sixteenth century, and many others, including Milton Friedman on the right and John Kenneth Galbraith on the left, have promoted variants of it over the years. But the idea has lately been gaining much more traction, with some regarding it as a solution to today’s technology-driven economic disruptions. Can it work?

The appeal […]

Utopia for Realists by Rutger Bregman review: A brilliantly written and unorthodox page-turner

Utopia for Realists by Rutger Bregman review: A brilliantly written and unorthodox page-turner

Rutger Bregman’s new book isn’t traditional bestseller material. Packed full of case studies, graphs and complex ideas – you might expect it to appeal to a small niche of people who are actively involved in politics, but instead it’s created quite a storm here in Britain.

In case you haven’t heard Bregman on the radio, seen him on TV or read one of the many reviews of Utopia for Realists here’s the thrust of his argument: humans have moved forwards a lot in the last two centuries but we’re now stalling. In response to soaring inequality, stubbornly high levels of […]
