Inequality is up. Decent work is down. Free market fundamentalism has been exposed as a tragic failure. In a job market upended by COVID-19—with Canadians caught in the grip of precarious labour, stagnant wages, a climate crisis, and the steady creep of automation—an ever-louder chorus of voices calls for a liveable and obligation-free basic income.
Could a basic income guarantee be the way forward to democratize security and intervene where the market economy and social programs fail? Jamie Swift and Elaine Power scrutinize the politics and the potential behind a radical proposal in a post-pandemic world: that wealth should be built by a society, not individuals. And that we all have an unconditional right to a fair share.
In these chapters, Swift and Power bring to the forefront the deeply personal stories of Canadians who participated in the 2017–2019 Ontario Basic Income Pilot; examine the essential literature and history behind the movement; and answer basic income’s critics from both the right and left.

So what would happen if I get 20 books and keep uploading them every day? At some point some measures will be taken right? Or not, as long as i”m on “the right side of history”.

Isnt this called Marxism? You know, that thing that doesn’t work

@ukulele12345 Sometimes I worry that people posting on this site don’t have a firm grasp of political/economic concepts and are maybe confusing Marxism/Communism for other things. But yes, you are right. Ontario, Canada is one of the last holdouts from the Soviet Bloc.” The 2017–2019 Ontario Basic Income Pilot”, as described in this book, is the same as the Soviet Union, just like everything else you don’t like.

@boneswithfiddle lol! - it gets exhausting eh?
This site literally provides people with access to a resource that will inform them but instead people post and then never read the book. Crackers.
Personally I’m not sure about UBI - seems like the only places than can afford to do it are literally the ones that have benefited from colonial exploitation. That feels like more than a coincidence to me and perhaps points to how hard this would be in enact everywhere, even the global south….

Isn’t Marxism when you refuse to join any club that would have you as a member?
January 28th, 2023
Either that, bengle, or it’s the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies.
January 28th, 2023
@bengle_moody That’s certainly my sort of Marxism. What ever it is, I’m against it. My five star rating is for your comment.

The problem here is that the people supporting this dont realize that the people who are ging to be at the top are going to take everything for themselves, like they do in socialist countries. At least with Capitalism, you still have the opportunity to make it big yourself. With UBI you are stuck at the bottom, for good.

Would be an absolute disaster without honest, progressive taxation. Neoliberalism IS welfare for corporations, helping ordinary citizens as well as the corporation would collapse the economy via inflation. Furlough was turned out to be disaster because it caused inflation as no excess money was clawed back through taxation. That’s why the bastions of neoliberalism, the UK/ US, are sinking in a post-pandemic world when a decent normal, just society should be booming as it opens up for business. Neoliberalism is a failed economic system.
