But is this accurate? Is this what UBI is actually capable of doing?
More importantly, is this what we want?
And even more will this “future” be our best future? Will it account for and manage the practicalities of work, money and automation, given the limits of endless growth on a finite planet?
Money and Work Unchained drags the now-popular concept of Universal Basic Income (UBI) from the shadows of Pundit blather into a harsh, illuminating light, and in doing so presents an entirely new view of the future that upends our conventional understanding of work and money.
This book lays out a practical pathway that realigns work, money and human fulfillment into a sustainable system that sheds the inequalities and injustices of the status quo in favor of a human-scale way of living
Money and Work Unchained Reviews
-
The book offers a unique view of the economic world from a systems point of view. Much of it I agree with, some of it I don't. The points about UBI being a spiritual problem are valid, although the UBI bashing is repetitive and tiresome after a while.
-
A sober summary of the aims and motivations of the current global economy
Despite suffering from repetitiveness, this book is a good outline of systemic disadvantages and implicit elitism of universal basic income, in specific, and credit-expansion/deficit spending paradigms in general - disadvantages built into these systems by design.
While I found it personally disheartening to see UBI exposed as a impractical elitist dream, the author, fortunately, leaves alternatives to explore, which seem more practical and doable at local scale.
