Synopsis:
Universal Basic Income is a very old idea that is fast becoming the radical idea of the twenty-first century: every adult paid a living wage, no strings attached. Basic income could eradicate poverty, or help us avoid a dystopian future where robots have taken all our jobs. But UBI will have another effect too: a massive creative explosion.
When we no longer have to worry about about money, we have the opportunity to be creative on a mass scale. Future growth begins at the point where creative brilliance and new technology meet and this book is full of insights about the transformation of lives emerging from basic income experiments around the world.
The stories told here range from an artist’s experience of the basic income test in Finland, to how the romantic poets invented consumerism; how cities like New York, Glasgow and Berlin were transformed by their creative residents; and the working habits of people like David Bowie, Bob Dylan, Kurt Vonnegut and Haruki Murakami.
