Nick Taylor - Basic Income

Nick Taylor, an advocate of basic income, joins us to talk about how the conversation around basic income has developed substantially in just under a year with a negative income tax trial planned in Ontario, discussion of federal funding for a trial in PEI, and the newest cash grant trial started in December 2016 in Finland for 2,000 recipients. Plus developments in municipal basic income in San Francisco, and a private trial across the Bay in Oakland. Nick will outline how the different funding sources for these experiments reflect competing promoters and drive the resulting approaches to the concept of providing unconditional cash grants to individuals. Recorded at the Sunday, February 26, 2017 meeting of the BC Humanist Association in Vancouver. Learn more at www.bchumanist.ca Follow us on Twitter, Facebook & Instagram.
