Can a universal basic income help society?
Graham Watson
14th February 2019
The Economist looks at the notion of a universal basic income (UBI). In Stockton, California, a city with above-average unemployment, the Mayor has introduced an experiment to give 100 people $500 per month.
It's seen as way of getting money into the hands of the working poor, and reducing poverty, in a world where the future of work seems increasingly insecure.
