As the threat of technological disruption becomes more and more real and reports after reports list out the jobs that are supposed to disappear in a matter of decades if not years due to automation and artificial intelligence, some governments have already begun working on realizing the notion of universal basic income so as to make sure technological disruption doesn’t undermine the survival of lower and middle class citizens. In this episode of Beyond the Present (BTP) podcast Dan, Marvin, and Pouya discuss the issue of universal basic income from all its perspectives, criticize the negative consequences of free money, praise the lives that could be saved by it, and analyze the practicality of the concept as a whole. This episode shows how technology can force politics and economics to change their rules and if that seems interesting to you then give this episode a listen.
