22 Is it time for a Universal Basic Income? Example (10 mins) from talkRadio, how to promote a neo-liberal version of a basic income, make unfounded statements and promote prejudices without evidence. The respondent Christopher Snowdon, head of lifestyle economics at the Institute of Economic Affairs, states that UBI is only affordable when free education and health service is replaced by UBI. Contrary to the facts he states that there have been many trials of UBI referring to Finland which was not a full and real UBI. He also states that people do not work with a basic income without providing any evidence. It is a good training session which can prepare you for a discussion where lots of prejudices about UBI and the promotion of the neo-liberal UBI version are presented.
