Interview by Enno Schmidt with Prof. Dr. Karl Widerquist on basic income issues

"...myths that underpin a lot of political philosophy, ideas of freedom..." - Karl Widerquist im Gespräch

The Talk of Today interviewed me about UBI & Private. We talked about the myths that underpin a lot of political philosophy, ideas of freedom, and UBI more generally.https://t.co/j99E4n1HJv

"A choice of masters does not make a servant into a free person" - und eine Anmerkung zur "job guarantee"

"A choice of masters does not make a servant into a free person."—@KarlWiderquist

This is also my biggest problem with a job guarantee without #UBI. You cannot guarantee someone a job and call them free so long as what they need to live remains conditionally withheld from them. https://t.co/CM6F7qwiZD

"...we have not found any evidence of a significant reduction in labour supply..."

1/4 "Over 1,200 documents that discuss the UBI/employment relationship have been reviewed... we have not found any evidence of a significant reduction in labour supply; instead we found evidence that labour supply increases globally among adults, men and women, young and old..."

— Karl Widerquist (@KarlWiderquist) September 1, 2020

Widerquist verweist auf die Studie "Is There Empirical Evidence on How the Implementation of a Universal Basic Income (UBI) Affects Labour Supply? A Systematic Review".

Eine klare Option: Armut oder keine Armut, "universal basic income" oder "conditional programs"

There are only 2 choices: either you want a universal program like Basic Income to eliminate poverty or you want poverty to exist. If you want to address poverty with conditional programs, you want poverty to exist for the people who fail or refuse to meet your conditions.

Für all die Lebenslagen, in denen nur Einkommensmangel der Grund für Armut ist, trifft Karl Widerquists These zu, für andere Armutsgründe bedarf es anderer Antworten. Allerdings würde auch hier ein BGE etwas verändern, siehe hier und hier

Wenn auch nicht so drastisch wie in den USA, gilt diese Frage auch in Deutschland

"Fighting for human dignity means fighting for humans, not workers"

Fighting for human dignity means fighting for humans, not workers. We need to recognize all the unpaid work going on that min wages do nothing to recognize, and we need to recognize that people should have the power to refuse paid work until their conditions are met to consent. pic.twitter.com/RKA0uy4U75

"Great idea: let's not do it" - Widerquist on Buttigieg

@PeteButtigieg says UBI is a good idea, but we should add work requirements. That's like saying "Great idea: let's not do it!" The absence of work (and all other) requirements is the essence of UBI. You add work requirements, you're basically doing the opposite.

Finnlands Experiment - Berichterstattung sucht sich aus, was gefällt..

...den Eindruck erhält man, wenn die verschiedenen Beiträge in den Medien, die das Archiv Grundeinkommen gesammelt hat, durchschaut. Diese selektive Deutung der vorläufigen Ergebnisse entspricht dem, was Erfahrungen mit früheren Versuchen ebenso gezeigt haben, siehe hier und hier. Siehe auch "What (If Anything) Can We Learn from the Preliminary Results of the Finnish Basic Income Experiment?".

"A Critical Analysis of Basic Income Experiments for Researchers, Policymakers, and Citizens"...

...eine Veröffentlichung von Karl Widerquist, der sich immer wieder auch kritisch zu Experimenten und der Diskussion darüber geäußert hat, siehe hier.

Hier ein Abstract des Verlags:

"Introduction

At least six different Universal Basic Income (UBI) experiments are underway or planned right now in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Finland, and Kenya. Several more countries are considering conducting experiments. Yet, there seems to be more interest simply in having UBI experiments than in exactly what we want to learn from them. Although experiments can produce a lot of relevant data about UBI, they are crucially limited in their ability to enlighten our understanding of the big questions that bear on the discussion of whether to implement UBI as a national or regional policy. And, past experience shows that results of UBI experiments are particularly vulnerable misunderstanding, sensationalism, and spin. This book examines the difficulties of conducting a UBI experiment and reporting the results in ways that successfully improve public understanding of the probable effects of a national UBI. The book makes recommendations how researchers, reporters, citizens, and policymakers can avoid these problems and get the most out of UBI experiments."
