Recommendation
In this compelling article, financial journalist and historian Rutger Bregman assesses a universal basic income as a long-term economic tool. Arguing that a guaranteed government distribution could mitigate “poverty, unemployment and the bureaucratic behemoth of the modern welfare state,” Bregman focuses his attention on answering critics of the concept, who contend that the framework of such a massive undertaking is fraught with obstacles and difficulties. Whichever side you take, getAbstract recommends this intriguing text that introduces some new thinking about this highly controversial economic topic.
