Thomas G. Clark, “The What is…? Series, Number 14: What is…Universal Basic Income?”

Another Angry Voice

According to the author, the objective of this series is to try to explain seemingly complex socio-economic theories and concepts in everyday language and show how these concepts are being misused, abused and ignored by governments and powerful international organisations.

The article briefly defines basic income, explains a list of arguments in favour and a list of arguments against. It then discusses basic income’s relationship with several political ideologies including socialism, left- and right libertarianism, and free market capitalism.
