Universal Basic Income: For and Against

Talk given by me at event in Glasgow, enjoy.

Writing this book was a lot of fun because it gave me the opportunity to draw upon a wide range of research and writing I had done earlier and pull the strands together like a nebula forming into a star. I think expanding upon my UBI talk made for a far more interesting end product (god, I sound like an economist) than a simple collection of essays would have. I endeavoured to bring my writing (and speaking) together in a Best Of (to continue my “band-on-a-reunion-tour” analogy from the introduction) in one place, before building upon it with unique bonus material. I think the result makes a good stand-alone piece, however, if you can’t get enough of my writing (you’re only human after all), or would like to see where the book all began (as far back as 10 years ago!) here are links to the source material I drew upon.
