Daniel Thomason: But how do we pay for it? The economics of Basic Income

If you can't make it, we are live streaming the event from facebook.com/CafeGrundeinkommen!
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 basic income cryptocurrency Circles (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKsQ-kERiH0)).
This month, we invite Daniel Thomason, a former central bank economist from Australia, who will answer one of the most common reactions to the idea of Universal Basic Income: "But how do we pay for it?" The moral and social arguments for a Universal Basic Income are clear, but what about economically? This presentation will cover the economic benefits of the plan and provide a counter to some of the most common economic criticisms.
The talk will be preceded by the usual international UBI update, and followed by Q&A. We hope to see you there!
