- Abstract
- How (un)desirable is an unconditional basic income? How (un)feasible is it? Most of the discussion on these issues has been conducted in the framework of fairly self-contained nation-states. This may have made a lot of sense in the case of the brief British debate in the 1920s, in the case of the hardly less brief US debate in the late 1960s, perhaps even in the case of the European debates that started in the 1980s. But how could it possibly make any sense in the XXIst century, in the era of globalization, in an era in which capital and goods, people and ideas are said to cross national borders as they have never done before? In this new context, are the prospects for a basic income not deeply altered. Indeed, have they not dramatically worsened?
