Guy Standing: "Our wealth and income are much more influenced by our parents and older generations than by our own actions." [ pbombaert/Shutterstock ]

99% of people want to improve their lives. And the UBI won’t prevent them from wanting it. So if such projects prevent them from having to do terrible jobs, this is positive, says Guy Standing told EURACTIV Poland.

Professor Guy Standing is a professorial research associate at the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London and co-president at the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN). Standing spoke to EURACTIV.pl Editor-in-Chief Karolina Zbytniewska. […]

The news will have this shortly, but I thought I would reach out to r/Futurology and r/BasicIncome first to say thank you.

For several years I have followed these subs and some of the discussions here were compelling enough to lead me to start a more public discussion about how it might be possible to ensure that as innovation, automation and inequality transform our economy, we ensure that it remains stable, everyone benefits, and no one is left behind. I have been working with other groups and stakeholders since, many of whom have been working on this for much longer […]

Flickr/Ray_LAC Innovation and forward-thinking may be Hawaii’s two biggest exports in 2017.

Earlier this month, the state earned the distinction of being the first in the U.S. to formally accept the provisions of the Paris Climate Agreement after President Donald Trump decided to withdraw the nation from it, and now, Hawaii is taking the lead in embracing yet another innovative idea: universal basic income (UBI).

On June 15, Hawaii state representative Chris Lee wrote a Reddit post about House Concurrent Resolution 89 , a bill he says he introduced in order to "start a conversation about our future." According to Lee, […]

PhilAugustavo/Getty Hawaii has become the first state in the country to officially start exploring a means to provide its residents with a guaranteed basic income. The bill, passed recently by both houses of the state legislature in a unanimous vote, declares that all Hawaiians “deserve basic financial security” and directs state agencies to analyze “universal basic income” and similar policy options.

“As innovation and automation and inequality disrupt our economy, we want to make sure that everybody benefits and nobody is left behind,” the author of the bill, state Rep. Chris Lee of Kaliua, told Mother Jones . “It’s past […]

President Trump made many wild claims about the U.S. economy during the 2016 campaign. He frequently asserted that official job numbers dramatically understated unemployment. Fake government news! The real unemployment rate, he speculated, could be as high as 42 percent, far worse than at the depth of the Great Depression.

Today, of course, President Trump has fully embraced those very same job stats as evidence that Trumponomics is working. After all, the official unemployment rate is 4.3 percent — though lowest number since 2001, and a level that probably puts us at or near full employment.

Oddly, though, liberals seem to […]

"The goal of the future is full unemployment, so we can play." – Arthur C. Clarke, 1969.

It isn’t right to think that giving people more money will entail rising prices. As I’m sure you’re aware, increased demand can lead to sizably increased production, which in turn leads to lower prices. It is the production rate and how much it can be pumped up in response to an increase in demand that is the key factor in price resolution. When the supply cannot be increased (or match the demand), there is more money chasing the same amount of goods and […]
