After having previously said over and over that we'll "do UBI properly at some point", the time has come, and what better way to approach this question than including the man who quite literally wrote the book on it, Guy Standing. A professor in Economics at SOAS, who spent many years at the Internatinoal Labour Organization and founded the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN), this episode is really more about Guy than us - with us questioning him on what drives the moral imperative for everyone receiving basic income.

This week, Lily addresses a paradox in the environmental movement - affordability. Is our economy structured in a way that makes being environmental prohibitively expensive? Or are the wealthy creating most of the emissions? How do we afford sustainability and can we afford not to? Speaking to a plethora of intellectuals, Lily explores the connections between equality and the environment - and looks at political solutions that seek to ally environmental sustainability with social justice. Lily speaks with the economist who has spent decades pushing forward a Universal Basic Income, Professor Guy Standing, co-founder of the Economic Security Project Natalie Foster and Mayor Tubbs who is leading a trial UBI project in California. This episode also includes writer Alison Stine, advocate of carbon pricing Elon Musk and anthropologist James Suzman who discusses the origins of inequality. As ever, Lily creates a space of discussion and discovery, encouraging us to seek optimism in the solutions that exist.

Catch Up: recorded 26 May 20, Compass talks to Guy Standing, Professor of Development Studies at SOAS, founding member and honorary co-president of the Basic Income Earth Network and author of Battling Eight Giants: Basic Income Now. The idea of a universal basic or guaranteed income has been advocated for centuries. Thinkers from Tom Paine in the 1790s to social reformers in the 1890s argued that it was the duty of the state to ensure a minimum income for all citizens. With inequality, climate change and automation the need for such a policy was evident before the coronavirus crisis, but one effect of the pandemic, which has left huge numbers of people economically insecure, has been that the idea now has political legs. We'll be chatting to Guy, one of the worlds leading experts in basic income, about the transformative effects of a basic income on individuals and communities, how it can ensure a better future for all and why it must constitute part of a post-coronavirus settlement. It's Bloody Complicated is a new podcast series that features thinkers, politicians, journalists, & community activists from across the progressive spectrum, created by Compass which campaigns for a Good Society, now available on The Real Agenda Network. www.realagenda.org  

Professor Guy Standing tells us why the time has come for the government to introduce a basic income for UK citizens, what that would look like, and what the trials of basic incomes across the world have taught us. What Matters? is a podcast from Compassion in Politics, the think tank that works to bring more compassion into public life, produced by Kitty Horlick for The Real Agenda Network, podcasts for progressive change. www.compassioninpolitics.com www.realagenda.org

In this weeks podcast I speak with Professor Guy Standing. A professorial research associate and former professor at SOAS University of London and world expert on Universal basic Income.He is also a co-founder and current co-president of the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN), an international non-governmental organization that promotes basic income as a right.In light of the evolving pandemic I wanted to shift the conversation from reacting to the current scenario, to considering what opportunities there are to grow from this.In the same way the British public and government created a universal healthcare system in the wake of WWII, perhaps our current scenario provides the foundation for even more radical thinking.Today we discuss Basic Income as a measure that could alleviate societal suffering that started years before the pandemic, but has been extenuated and magnified as a result of the virus.What we understand more than ever is the inequality within our communities, the effects of which will last far beyond the closure of this health crisis and will continue unless we think more carefully and imaginatively about how we structure our society.We talk through the following:Basic constructs of what Universal Basic Income meansThe ethical and economic arguments for Basic IncomeIdeas and culture shifts in politics and society that need to be in place for basic income to workProfessor Standing's experiences with instituting Basic Income in communities across the world I hope that this situation has made more of us think more compassionately and kindly toward our neighbours both internationally as well as nationally and that this podcast ignites a different way of thinking even if you do not agree with the notion of Basic income.Please do be sure to check out Professor Standings book - Battling Eight Giants: Basic Income Now (Bloomsbury, 2020) - released this year and available through most good bookstores or online booksellers.And don't forget to subscribe to The Doctor's Kitchen newsletter where we will be continuing to share weekly science based recipes and tips to help you live the healthiest and happiest lifestyle possible.Guest Social Media Links:WebsiteFacebook See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

In this chat, always possible chief exec Richard Freeman, talks to Professor Guy Standing about the fallout of globalism and the rise of the precariat - the new social class defined by its insecurity - as well as the idea of a basic universal income, once mocked for being an unworkable socialist pipe-dream but now fast becoming a mainstream social policy idea. Richard and Guy discuss whether we are entering a post-capitalist economics, and if the fact that wealth is created by owning things rather than making things means what we have can never truly be described as free market. They discuss Guy's 30-year campaign for a basic universal income and why something for which he was previously derided is now being taken very seriously across the world. But this controversial policy - challenged by thinkers and politicians on both the left and right surely has massive risks - is this not an incentive for worklessness, to spend money on more insecurity and for landlords to exploit these new sources of payments? Dr Guy Standing is one of the world's leading social economists, working on issues of distributive justice, social security and citizenship for over 40 years. He is Professor of Development Studies at the School of African & Oriental Studies at the University of London and the co-founder of the Basic Income Earth Network. His most well-known books include The Precariat: The New Dangerous Class, The Corruption of Capitalism: Why Rentiers Thrive and Work Does Not Pay and 2017's Basic Income: And How We Can Make It Happen.

Here at Informed Choice Radio, we're not afraid to examine the big ideas. And few ideas are bigger than the concept of a universal basic income.  Professor Guy Standing is a founder member and honorary co-president of the Basic Income Earth Network. This is a non-governmental organisation that promotes a basic income for all.        Basic Income is a regular cash transfer from the state, received by all individual citizens. It is an acknowledgement that everyone plays a part in generating the wealth currently enjoyed only by a few.  Political parties across the world are now adopting it as official policy and the idea generates headlines every day.  Guy Standing has been at the forefront of thought about Basic Income for the past thirty years. His recent work has concerned the emerging precariat class and the need to move towards unconditional basic income and deliberative democracy. Guy's new book is Basic Income: And How We Can Make It Happen.  In the book he covers in authoritative detail the impact of basic income on the economy, poverty, work and labour; he dissects and disproves the standard arguments against Basic Income; explains what we can learn from pilots across the world and illustrates exactly why a Basic Income has now become such an urgent necessity.

The 'precariat', those precarious people who have no secure foothold in the world of work, are a dangerous new class, argues Professor Guy Standing.

A growing number of people, including millions from Britain, have been entering a global precariat, part of an emerging class structure shaped by globalisation. In this lecture, drawing on his new book, The Precariat: A New Dangerous Class, Professor Standing examined the labour market dynamics that underpin the growth of the precariat and set out the nucleus of a new 'politics of paradise' that is beginning to take shape outside the political mainstream.

According to the experts globalisation ended in 2008, but where does that leave us? Is the financial crisis a turning point in the global transformation? Professor Guy Standing examines these issues in his inaugural lecture.
