Event Details

Has the time come for a Universal Basic Income? 

Book: With Liberty and Dividends For AllUniversal basic income—the idea that people should be paid simply for being alive—is gaining attention in many different sectors. It is being talked about by right-wing libertarians and far-left socialists, by high-tech venture capitalists and inside-the-Beltway think tanks. But is it really feasible in the United States? If so, how, and when?

Join us at Institute for the Future for a lunchtime conversation on August 13th on the prospect of future income with author and social entrepreneur, Peter Barnes and IFTF fellow, Natalie Foster.

Author: Peter Barnes

Peter Barnes is a co-founder of Working Assets/CREDO, a social entrepreneur, and the author of several books. His With Liberty and Dividends for All explains how a form of universal basic income, modeled on the Alaska Permanent Fund, could provide living wage while helping to prevent catastrophic climate change.
 



Natalie Foster

Natalie Foster is currently a fellow at Institute for the Future and co-founder of Peers.org. Before that she was CEO of Rebuild the Dream and led the digital work of Organizing for America, the Sierra Club, and MoveOn.org.
