AdChoices Finance Minister has said that “the debate over the political cost of economic reforms has dissipated with the benefits reaching the deprived sections of society… the outcome of demonetisation has proved critics wrong as neither the GDP nor agricultural output suffered.” Such a fortuitous outcome of the reforms is indeed possible.

Today we will learn who will be the next French President. Hopefully, the "MacronLeaks" scandal will not have destablilised the campaign and we will avoid the trauma of having a neo-fascist like Marine LePen as president.

Nevertheless, I am far from being a fan of the very conventional neo-liberal program being offered by Emmanuel Macron. That’s why I would like him to consider some of the more radical ideas that I have been pushing for the last 7 years on my blog.

In my "Open letter to Emmanuel Macron" last week, I was suggesting that he should consider replacing the bulk […]

You might’ve heard about political scientist and professor Charles Murray recently. He was the subject of a recent campus protest , and is also (in)famous for writing The Bell Curve . I picked up the most recent draft of his call for the creation of a universal basic income (“UBI”), In Our Hands: A Plan for Replacing the Welfare State . As a person who relies on government welfare programs (e.g., Medicaid), I’m skeptical of most libertarian plans for reform. However, Murray and his book surprised me in a very positive way! Unsurprisingly, Murray calls for the elimination of […]

Author Jeffery J. Smith has published a science fiction novel, Perfect Timing , which explores the potential of a universal basic income to improve the lot of humanity.

Smith has been an advocate of basic income for over 20 years, promoting a Georgist -inspired approach to a citizen’s dividend. Explaining the influence of his views on his novel, he states: As a lifelong activist, I’ve concluded that our most fundamental and wide-reaching solution is to get an extra income to everyone from society’s surplus. Doing that would topple hierarchy and all its attendant ills, it’d liberate us from conformist […]

Advances in technology are creating the next economy and enabling us to make things/do things/connect with others in smarter, cheaper, faster, more effective ways. But the price of this progress has been a decoupling of the engine of prosperity from jobs that have been the means by which people have ascended to (and stayed in) the middle class.

Andy Stern, the former president of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) spent four years traveling the country and asking economists, futurists, labor leaders, CEOs, investment bankers, entrepreneurs, and political leaders to help picture the U.S. economy 25 to 30 years […]

I am so glad that I am a retired senior. I don’t have to worry about a robot taking my job. Since I have lots of time on my hands to think, I wonder what a new AI world would look like. For example; will my 2 year old granddaughter even need to get a driver’s licence? Will the Uber or cab that she orders even come with a driver?

Now I have always been a big fan of science fiction movies. There is a scene in the movie “Logan” where Wolverine has to dodge driver-less trucks to cross the […]
