This episode examines the historical roots of Universal Basic Income (UBI) and its relevance today. It addresses changing labor trends, challenges prevailing views on artificial intelligence and job loss, and highlights the importance of economic security.
Historian of economics Robert Wright, a co-author of the book Debating Universal Basic Income: Pros, Cons, and Alternatives, and Augminas Petronis, an associated expert at the Lithuanian Free Market Institute, go beyond the usual clichés in discussing various questions related to UBI and its potential impacts on society and the economy.
