In this week’s podcast I speak with professor Guy Standing. A professorial research associate and former professor at SOAS University of London and world expert on Universal Basic Income. He is also a co-founder and current co-president of the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN), an international non-governmental organisation that promotes basic income as a right. In light of the evolving pandemic I wanted to shift the conversation from reacting to the current scenario, to considering what opportunities there are to grow from this. In the same way the British public and government created a universal healthcare system in the wake of WWII, perhaps our current scenario provides the foundation for even more radical thinking.
Today we discuss Basic Income as a measure that could alleviate societal suffering that started years before the pandemic, but has been extenuated and magnified as a result of the virus. What we understand more than ever is the inequality within our communities, the effects of which will last far beyond the closure of this health crisis, will continue unless we think more carefully and imaginatively about how we structure our society. I hope that this situation has made more of us think more compassionately and kindly toward our neighbours both internationally as well as nationally and that this podcast ignites a different way of thinking even if you do not agree with the notion of Basic income.
