Should the government give everyone a basic income?
In this episode I talk to Cambridge HSPS graduate and now Cabinet Executive Officer at Lewisham Council Ed Parker Humphreys on the topic of Universal Basic Income. We will explain what it is, identify some of the main arguments for and against its implementation, consider an alternative policy known as Universal Basic Services and finally, evaluate whether the coronavirus pandemic has changed the debate on these ideas. Enjoy!
