RE: The Progressive Case for Greatly Replacing the Welfare State with Unconditional Basic Income

in #basicincome7 years ago

Thank you. I originally had the infographic created for my first World Economic Forum piece last year.

The economics of UBI are sound, and it has backing from an increasing number of economic Nobel winners in addition to a growing pile of evidence in favor. And I agree the ethical justification for UBI is absolutely sound as compensation for the privatization of the commons. Our great challenge is a matter of collective will. We have to decide nation by nation as citizens, that a just society, and even a strong economy, requires UBI as a starting point below which no one is allowed to fall, and on top of which everyone is allowed to thrive.
