" In today’s labor market, which is being transformed by digital
technologies, one of the most important features of a UBI is
portability. Indeed, to insist on greater labor-market flexibility,
without ensuring that workers, who face a constant need to adapt to
technological disruptions, can rely on continuous social-safety nets,
is to advocate a lopsided world in which employers have all the
flexibility and employees have very little."
this is one way to get the sharing of wealth right. The people whose means of income has been disrupted by social and mechanical changes will still not be without support. It is an idea whose time has come but it is not likely any time soon due to ideological problems.
