How could universal basic income be an important tool in fighting mental illness? LucRichert and mpcsmith explain.
I am a relatively recent convert to UBI. I first heard about it in 2014 in New Harmony, Indiana, at a conference celebrating the 200th anniversary of its founding by Robert Owen. One of the keynote lectures was by the late. His title was something like: “Why Capitalism Won’t Exist by 2030” or something like that. I was losing patience with the talk until, towards the end, he mentioned UBI. And I could see where he was coming from. I have never been a dogmatist when it comes toor social policy.
The beauty of UBI is that it works for both left and right. It addresses the inequality and poverty that concerns the left, and it could be a powerful force for entrepreneurialism — something the right would support.
