On Thursday, 17th November, Dr. Mikael Malmaeus will present an evening lecture on “Situating basic income in two future post growth scenarios”.
Time: 5:00 – 6;30 pm
Online via Zoom (Links will be provided via mail)
Abstract: How well a universal basic income (UBI) would fit into a post growth economy depends a lot on assumptions about the core characteristics of such an economy. Comparing UBI in a “local self-sufficiency” economy to a UBI in an “automation” economy, we show that the impact of a UBI would differ greatly between these contexts. Our analysis shows that a UBI is less compatible with a labor-intensive local self-sufficiency economy than a capital-intensive, high tech economy. We conclude that the feasibility and attractiveness of a UBI depends greatly on the specific characteristics of the economy.
This evening lecture is part of the event series “UBITrans Public Seminar Series” of the FRIBIS-Team UBITrans
