Universal basic income isn't enough — the US needs to start giving every citizen a job, argues a star left-wing economist

But simply giving Americans money may not solve every problem. The real solution to pervasive inequality might be guaranteeing every citizen has a job to go to, argues economist Pavlina Tcherneva, a leading researcher on monetary policy and one of several economists who have advocated variations on "," and advocates much bigger government spending than even the great economist John Maynard Keynes proposed during the Great Depression.

." In it, she argued that addressing poverty and destitution is a multifaceted problem, and that a jobs guarantee comes closer to solving it than UBI.when advocating for UBI, giving citizens cash doesn't necessarily address all problems related to wellbeing if they still live in a polluted community or a food desert.

Why is support for a UBI left-wing... ? William F Buckley, Milton Friedman both supported usufruct - UBI - or some variation on the theme. As did revolutionary author & statesman: Thomas Paine. Last I checked, when the Goddess created the earth, she deeded it to no human.

'Star' left wing economist 😅😅🤣🤣🤣😂😂

The expansion of wage slavery isn't a bold new solution. We need to stop withholding resources from people in order to coerce them into doing the work we want. Our goal should also be reducing the work week to share work better, not inventing more work.

Communism also fails if you have an economist sell it to the economically illiterate sheeple

cool , just like East Germany

She of course will not know where the money will come from and what will happen to productivity - does she? Hope she visited Soviet Union.

This 100%. We should start digging holes on federal land and then pay others to fill them back in. $15/hr, congressional health care package, free room and board, etc.

Right to live is UBI, Jobs are secondary.

The jobs are out there...go get one!

Oh shit a Job Guarantee where there is no incentive to cut corners regarding safety is better than UBI. Who would've thought of that?

Employment is a choice for a reason. You cannot force people to work to make others richer. Socialism is slavery. In socialism they force work on you and kill those who refuse “their fair share”.

And for those who will not, don’t want to, or despise work?
