Rutger Bregman has a book called Utopia for Realists.
Quite a few successful studies on UBI - people become more productive, get better education, wean themselves off of addiction. It is an overall better investment than pretty much any other program - including because it doesn’t carry thenoverhead of controlling how money gets spent.
It is cheaper to provide UBI than not.
- nokya 5y agoThank you for the reference. My only issue with his analysis was that he proposed an income in the form of a monetary payment. I think this is exactly why UBI is impossible and we should rather have universal service. In other words: one should not receive monetary payment but be granted unrestricted access to vital goods and services instead.
