We have a new blog post by Derek Van Gorder.
"Overemployment may already be the problem we should be worrying about—not joblessness."

I wrote a guest blog post for the Feasta blog.
"People need money. They don’t need to be exploited. And we certainly don’t need to pretend to exploit people as an excuse to hand them money."

In my new working paper, "Keynesianism's Labor Problem," I argue that thinking of people as workers leads us to get economic theory wrong.
This is a revised version of what I presented at the BIEN Congress in Brazil

I have a new blog post on the difference between Guaranteed Income and Universal Basic Income.
"Treating the symptoms of a broken system is a far different project from radically restructuring the system itself."

We have a new blog post by Derek Van Gorder (@derekvg).
"Have we unwittingly been overemploying ourselves and overworking our economy, incurring costs to markets and our environment, yet receiving fewer benefits in return?"

The Greshm Institute's Derek Van Gorder (@derekvg) has written a new working paper explaining the idea of Calibrated Basic Income. There's a level of UBI that maximally helps the economy serve the people. Let's find it.

The Greshm Institute's Phil Jackson delivered this talk BIEN Congress 2024 back in August.
* Why Basic Income Is Cooler Than You Think
"If automation is hurting people, then that has to mean that there is something wrong with the economy itself."

I'll be appearing on Steve Keen's YouTube livestream this Saturday at 12pm EST to discuss Universal Basic Income. Here's the link to tune in.

We have a new post by @AlexHowlettUBI in which he responds to @Noahpinion's thoughts on UBI and the anti-work "vibe shift."
"Unfortunately, it will be hard to economize on labor so long as we continue to define our identities in terms of work."

We have a new blog post by Phil Jackson that responds to the recent discussion of "Universal High Income" by @elonmusk and @scottsantens.
"When UBI happens, it will happen because we make it happen for reasons that make sense to us."

I recently joined Dave Foulkes (@BeyondSurvlEcon) for a discussion of the economics of Universal Basic Income and its implications for labor-saving technology, such as AI.
Check it out!

Latest podcast with @AlexHowlettUBI is a deeper look into The Greshm Institute’s theory behind UBI, the reason it should be calibrated (ie not a set amount) and how we’ve got the whole ‘automation is coming for our jobs’ thing backwards
Watch Derek Van Gorder's (@derekvg) recent talk for the Henry George School of Social Science:
"Full Access or Full Employment: The Macroeconomics of UBI."
Why don't we question the economic policy goal of full employment?

On Tuesday, March 26th, at 6:30pm EDT, The Henry George School of Social Science will host Derek Van Gorder of The Greshm Institute for an online talk on the macroeconomics of UBI and "full access" as an alternative policy goal to full employment.

What is Basic Income? What is Universal Basic Income (UBI)? What makes these things "basic"? It depends on who you ask. I've written a response to the first post of Ellis Winningham's ten-part MMT-oriented critique of UBI.
