    Our guest this week is Guy Standing, who is a British labour economist. He is professor of Development Studies at SOAS and co-founder of BIEN, the Basic Income Earth Network.

    He is best known as a long-standing and prominent advocate of Basic Income, but he is also responsible for redefining and revitalizing the term ‘precariat’.

    Guy has written extensively about capitalism and labour market policy. Among his many books are Basic income: and how we can make it happen, A plunder of the commons, a manifesto for sharing public wealth, The Corruption of Capitalism: Why Rentiers Thrive and Work Does Not Pay, The Blue Commons: Rescuing the Economy of the Sea.

    We talk about:

    • A brief history of capitalism
    • Rentier capitalism
    • The emergence of a precariat
    • Plutocracy and Trump
    • Will AI liberate us after all
    • The dignity of a basic income for everyone
    • Realisation and execution of basic income pilots

    Let’s debate!
