SUMMARY: In his final book, Where Do We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?, Martin Luther King, Jr. advocated for a universal basic income.  In addition to recalling King’s contribution to civil rights during the days surrounding Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, it’s worth remembering his commitment to ending poverty as well.
