This Week: Interview with Christos Zouboulidis of the Basic Income Initiative in Europe

UBIEThis week on Dialogos Radio, the Dialogos Interview Series will feature a discussion with Christos Zoubloulidis of the Greek team for the Basic Income Initiative in Europe.  This movement was established in Europe in 2013, and it supports the establishment of an unconditional basic income (UBI) or “citizen’s income” that would be guaranteed for all European citizens, regardless of their employment status or any other income that they receive.  This minimum income would serve as a safeguard against poverty for all citizens.  This movement organized a petition throughout the European Union last year, and is active in a number of European countries, including Greece.  In this interview, Zouboulidis will talk about this initiative, its economic and theoretical basis, about the current efforts to promote this as a policy initiative in the European Union, and about the upcoming Athens Summit which will be organized in Athens later in September, and which will bring together key economists and supporters of this initiative from throughout Europe.
