Berlin Basic Income is a local group that explores strategies to implement a universal basic income (UBI), including unconventional methods that may start outside of the usual political process (e.g. the Ethereum based basic income cryptocurrency "Circles (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKsQ-kERiH0)").

This month, we are honored to feature one of Germany's most renowned UBI advocates, Stefan Füsers, hailing from Hamburg. After completing two interdisciplinary Master degrees in European Studies and in International Studies, he began a career in climate change awareness and in transdisciplinary sciences. He is a member of the executive council of the German Basic Income Network and a founding member of the UBIE (Unconditional Basic Income Europe). For over ten years, he has been actively involved in several NGOs and independent projects to promote a basic income as part of a socially and ecologically sustainable planet.

Füsers present an argument for the somewhat controversial concept of de-growth, the theory that overcoming the growth ideology of the current economic climate will result in a more socially and ecologically sustainable system. He will expand upon the idea that degrowth will provide a stable foundation upon which social welfare systems, such as UBI, can flourish with minimal adverse environmental effects.

The talk will be preceded by the usual global UBI update, and followed by Q&A. We hope to see you there, and newcomers and guests are always welcome.

In diesem Monat haben wir die Ehre, einen von Deutschlands bekanntesten UBI-Verfechtern, Stefan Füsers, aus Hamburg darzubieten. Nachdem er zwei interdisziplinäre Master-Abschlüsse in European Studies und International Studies erwarb, begann er eine Karriere in Klimawandlaufklärung und transdisziplinärer Wissenschaft. Er ist Vorstandsmitglied des Netzwerks Grundeinkommen und Gründungsmitglied des UBIE (Universal Basic Income Europe). Seit zehn Jahren ist er aktiv an mehreren NGOs und unabhängigen Projekten beteiligt um das Grundeinkommen als Teil einer sozial und ökonomisch nachhaltigen Welt voranzubringen.

Füsers argumentiert für das leicht kontroverse Konzept des „de-growth“, der Theorie, dass die Überwindung der Wachstumsideologie des derzeitigen ökonomischen Klimas zu einem sozial und ökologisch nachhaltigeren System führen wird. Er wird die Idee ausführen, dass de-growth ein stabiles Fundament hervorbringen kann, auf dem soziale Wohlfahrtssysteme wie UBI mit minimalen ökonomischen Nebenwirkungen gedeihen kann.
