Show Notes

Opponents of a basic income argue that a basic income would undermine the incentive to work. But is that a bad thing?  Work certainly has value, but does that mean it would be bad if we worked less? What about in a post-scarcity world of abundance? What about the idea that work gives people a sense of meaning and purpose? Would we be lost without it?
