Universal Income - Jim Pugh
Jim Pugh speaks about how the hallmark of a strong stable civilization is the extirpation of extreme poverty. Many countries have realized this and implemented small-scale universal basic income (UBI) plans as a safety net for individuals or families suffering unexpected setbacks. Dr. Jim Pugh, a UBI activist and co-founder of the Universal Income Project, believes that supporting the most impoverished populations is how we can build a more humane, ethical society.
Critics of UBI suggest that granting everyone - and we mean everyone - a guaranteed stipend would be harmful to the economy and for the 'pull yourself up by your bootstraps' mentality that is so prevalent in individualistic societies. However, this hasn't been borne out in UBI pilot programs. While there is some minor decrease in amount of time spent working a job, much of that gained time is spent on skill acquisition and education that provides future economic advantages.
Our conversation also investigates the remodeling of political structures, the differences between the U.S. and parliamentary republics, and the role of unpaid work such as child-rearing.
