What would you do with an extra $500 every month? Host Joseph Pace and guests explore the promise of universal basic income in California.
Are monthly cash transfers the social safety net of the future-- addressing poverty, racial inequity and automation-induced job losses? Or, is basic income just a costly addition to our current, some would say failing, social assistance programs?
Guests:
- Chris Hoene, executive director of the California Budget & Policy Center.
- Taylor Jo Isenberg, managing director of the Economic Security Project.
- Anne Price, president of the Insight Center for Community Economic Development.
