[NetBehaviour] <MoneyLab> PeerValue conference review on INC MoneyLab blog

[marc garrett]

Hi David,

Completely agree, there needs to be a discussion about the "Basic Income”
model. I’m wondering whether you’ve read Dmytri Kleiner’s polemical article
on Furtherfield recently ‘Universal Basic Income Is a Neoliberal Plot To
Make You Poorer’?

He says, “The reason many people on the left are excited about proposals
such as universal basic income is that they acknowledge economic inequality
and its social consequences. However, a closer look at how UBI is expected
to work reveals that it is intended  to provide political cover for the
elimination of social programs and the privatization of social services.
The Liberal Party's resolution is no exception. Calling for "Savings in
health, justice, education and social welfare as well as the building of
self-reliant, taxpaying citizen," clearly means social cuts and
privatization.”

Well worth a read, it received a lot of interest and has had 46,938 reads
so far, which is a measurement of interest, not agreement of course ;-)

Wishing you well.
