The term dignity is used a lot when speaking of UBI. But what do we mean by dignity? Do the 'unique features' of a UBI have a distinct dignity dividend?

📢🚨New paper out! 📢🚨
We reflect on a new way of doing development work. A new approach doesn't aim to 'fix' or 'solve' problems, but engage in capacity building with communities to identify needs and build relational and participatory capacity

New TED Talk just dropped with former president of @GiveDirectly and former Conservative Party MP @RoryStewartUK explaining how the answer to poverty is CASH WITHOUT CONDITIONS. "People don't want to 'learn how to fish'. Maybe they want to open a bakery."

Fact or myth?
"UBI will discourage people from working."
