A wide variety of Basic Income proposals are circulating today. They differ along many other dimensions, for instance, the amounts of the Basic Income, the source of funding, the nature and size of reductions in other transfers that might accompany it, and so on.
We are honoured to co-moderate with Basic Income Earth Network organizers and long-time changemakers from the Hamilton Roundtable for Poverty Reduction and the Anglican Diocese of Niagara.
This second conversation expanded the discussion to the global stage, exploring how basic income intersects with today's interconnected social, economic, and political challenges. The session featured the Basic Income Earth Network alongside international economists, authors, researchers, and other specialists working across the field.
