Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Basic income is a simple idea on paper with regular, unconditional cash for everyone, but implementing it is anything but simple. In this interview, Professor David Green discusses findings from a major Canadian study, explains the appeal of basic income, why it might not deliver the transformation many expect, and outlines what kinds of policies could better address the needs of society’s most vulnerable.
