📊 Episode 2: The Economics of UBI
Can we afford UBI? That’s the question economists, politicians, and citizens wrestle with.
Funding models include:
Tax reform: Wealth taxes, carbon taxes, or consumption taxes.
Dividends: Alaska’s Permanent Fund uses oil revenue to pay residents annually.
Redistribution: Replacing complex welfare programs with a single payment.
Critics worry about inflation, work disincentives, and cost. Supporters argue that UBI simplifies bureaucracy, boosts spending, and reduces poverty.
UBI isn’t just about money—it’s about values. What do we prioritize in our budgets? Who do we protect?
