In this opinion piece (in Dutch) published on 27 August 2013 by www.dewereldmorgen.be, Francine Mestrum (a lecturer in social sciences in Antwerp, Belgium) scrutinizes the pros and cons of a basic income. In the end, she remains quite skeptical, as she stresses the fact that some basic income supporters are neoliberals opposing labour unions. She is aware of the fact that progressives also defend it, but insists that their own versions of basic income are not convincing enough.
