  • Should we have a universal basic income?
    Dany Lang disagrees and says:
    I don't believe in the relevance of the universal basic income proposal. [...] Personally, it is a proposal that embodies the idea of the end of work, i.e. it will not be possible any more to ensure full employment for all. However, in a society where there are many social needs not yet fulfilled, because the market mechanisms do not manage to satisfy them and because the Government, both central and local, does not take its own responsibilities, there is space for more work and for better shared work. [...] For me, the universal basic income is a weapon of massive destruction against the welfare state. (source)
