Summary:
In this interview, we discuss Widerquist's proposal for a universal basic income and how he thinks it can address current economic injustices. According to Widerquist, the beneficial effects of UBI on individuals and society include decreased child poverty, improved child nutrition and education, and enhanced labor market bargaining power for workers. Other topics we cover include libertarianism and experiments with basic income.
