In conversation with Joe Huston who is the chief financial officer (CFO) of GiveDirectly; a non-profit that sends direct cash transfers to the world's poorest. We discuss GiveDirectly's work in East Africa as well as the effectiveness of unconditional cash transfers versus traditional in-kind donations. We also discuss the case for basic universal income (UBI) and if UBI is potentially the future even for people in first world countries.
