Status Updates From Fair Shot: Rethinking Inequ...

Hughes doesn’t exactly advocate a UBI here, more of a “guaranteed income” of $500/mo to every adult worker in a household earning under $50k/yr. He specifies workers, not citizens in general, I think because he expects other social programs like Disability to cover the holes and in part because he thinks it’d go over better to start small and expand later.

I wasn’t expecting so much of this book to be about Hughes trying to run a magazine. It’s thinly related to UBI, but easily could have been left out or summarized in a few sentences.
