These days, he gets his basic income covered by those who support his writing about basic income.

It’s getting harder and harder not to discuss the future of work without discussing the possibility of universal basic income, so that’s why I’m so excited for Scott to help us understand what’s all about. We’ll discuss:

The roots of basic income and how it some of its earliest advocates were the founder of free-market economics. How automation is changing the workforce, thus raising the possible need for basic income. The mechanics of how a universal basic income could work. Why we are looking at work all wrong and what might be a healthier perspective.

You’ll notice the format for this episode is a little different to give space to this very important discussion about basic income and its possible role in the future of work.
