Political and Technological Strategies towards a post-Scarcity Society

Tristan Roberts will be hosting a discussion on strategies towards a post-Scarcity society. We'll be exploring the current and possible future implementations of Universal Basic Income, at the local, national, and international levels.

We'll also be discussing radical solutions that may supplant the current economic system. Technology, in the form of cryptocurrencies, is actively being designed to create transparent microstates. Besides offering transparent governance, some of these modular, voluntary communities will feature digital currencies that have progressive wealth redistribution at their core. In other words, a bitcoin-like, blockchain-based universal basic income.

Topics include:

*The status of the Swiss referendum for a Universal Basic Income

*The Finnish and Dutch efforts towards experimenting with Basic Income on city-wide levels,

*Alaska's Citizen Dividend and Oregon's possible Carbon Dividend

*Bitnation's attempt to create modular, transparent governance

*Next-generation, Ethereum-based cryptocurrencies that feature wealth redistribution
