More about the book
Focusing on the digital economy's impact on inequality and job security, the book advocates for universal basic income (UBI) as a solution. It explores how automation disrupts traditional labor markets and threatens livelihoods, proposing UBI as a means to alleviate these challenges. The text emphasizes UBI's potential social and environmental benefits, such as reducing worker anxiety and aligning energy consumption with societal needs. It also counters common arguments against UBI, particularly concerning cost and the notion of promoting idleness, reinforcing its political case.
