The Inequalities And Injustices

The current view of the conventional wisdom of the future is dimmed: automation will free millions from work, then we can pay everyone Universal Basic Income (UBI) by taxing the robots, allowing them a life-long function and an artistic effort for every person. The result: A future of Universal Happiness.

But is this accurate? Is this what UBI is actually capable of doing?

More importantly, is this what we want?

And even more importantly: will this "future" be our best future? Will it account for and manage the practicalities of work, money and automation, given the limits of endless growth on a finite planet?

This book drags the now-popular concept of Universal Basic Income (UBI) from the shadows of Pundit blather into a harsh, illuminating light, and in doing so presents an entirely new view of the future that upends our conventional understanding of work and money.

This book lays out a practical pathway that realigns work, money and human fulfillment into a sustainable system that sheds the inequalities and injustices of the status quo in favor of a human-scale way of living.
