1
What if the state covered your cost of living?
2
Would you still go to work?
3
Go back to school?
4
Not work at all?
5
What would you do?
6
This concept is called Universal Basic Income, or UBI, and it's nothing less than the most ambitious social policy of our times.
7
In 2017, basic income is gaining momentum around the world.
8
First trials are ongoing or on their way, and the growing number of countries are considering UBI as an alternative to welfare.
9
How would it work, and what are the key arguments for and against?
10
Right now, people can't really agree what universal basic income is or should be.
11
Some want to use it to eliminate welfare and cut bureaucracy.
12
Others want it as a free extra for existing programs, or even want it to be so high that work itself becomes optional.
13
For this video we'll talk mostly about the minimum basic income, enough money to be above the poverty line.
14
In the US this means about $1,000 a month or $12,000 a year.
15
The money would not be taxed and you could do whatever you wanted with it.
16
In this scenario, UBI is a way of transferring the wealth of a society while still keeping the free market in tax.
17
But if we hand out free money, will people just spend it on booze and stop working?
18
A 2013 study by the World Bank specifically examined
19
if poor people waste their handouts on tobacco and alcohol if they receive it in the form of cash.
20
The clear answer?
21
No, they don't.
22
The opposite is true.
23
Other studies have shown that the richer you are, the more drugs and alcohol you consume.
24
The lazy and drunk poor person is a stereotype rather than reality.
25
What about laziness?
26
Universal basic income test runs done in Canada in the 1970s showed that around 1% of the recipients stopped working, mostly to take care of their kids.
27
On average, people reduced their working hours by less than 10%.
28
The extra time was used to achieve goals like going back to school or looking for better jobs.
29
But if laziness and drugs are not a huge deal, why doesn't our current welfare state solve poverty?
30
Welfare or unemployment programs often come with a lot of strings attached, like taking part in courses,
31
applying to a certain number of jobs a month, or accepting any kind of job offer, no matter if it's a good fit or what it pays.
32
Besides the loss of personal freedom, these conditions are often a huge waste of time and only serve to make the unemployment statistics seem less bad.
33
Often your time would be much better spent looking for the right job, continuing education or starting a business.
34
Another unwanted side effect of many welfare programs is that they trap people in poverty and promote passive behavior.
35
Imagine a benefit of $1,000 each month.
36
In a lot of programs, if you earn a single dollar extra, the whole thing is taken away.
37
If you take a job that's paying $1,200, you might not only lose your benefits, but because of your taxes and other costs like transportation,
38
you might end up having less money than before before.
39
So if you actively try to better your situation and your total income is not improving or even shrinking,
40
welfare can create a ceiling that traps people in poverty and rewards passive behavior.
41
A basic income can never be cut and therefore getting a job and additional income will always make your financial situation better.
42
Work is always rewarded.
43
Instead of a ceiling it creates a floor from which people can lift themselves up.
44
But even if UBI is the better model, is it economically feasible?
45
What about inflation?
46
Won't prices just rise, making everything just like it was before?
47
Since the money is not being created by magic or printers, it needs to be transferred from somewhere.
48
It's more of a shift of funds than the creation of new ones.
49
Hence, no inflation.
50
Okay, but how do we pay for it?
51
There's no right answer here because the world is too diverse.
52
How well off a country is?
53
What the local values are?
54
Are things like high taxes or cutting the defense budget politically acceptable or not?
55
How much welfare state is already in place and is it effective?
56
Each country has its own individual path to a UBI.
57
The easiest way to pay for a UBI is to end all welfare and use the free funds to finance it.
58
Not only would this make a number of government agencies disappear, which in itself saves money, it would also eliminate a lot of bureaucracy.
59
On the other hand, cutting them could leave many people worse off than before.
60
If the goal is to have a foundation for everybody, there still need to be programs of some sort, because just like countries, people are not the same.
61
The second way, higher taxes, especially for the very wealthy.
62
In the US, for example, there's been a lot of economic growth, but most of the benefits from it have gone to the richest few percent.
63
The wealth gap is rapidly widening, and many argue that it might be time to distribute the spoils more evenly to preserve the social peace.
64
There could be taxes on financial transactions, capital, land value, carbon or even robots.
65
But UBI is not necessarily expensive.
66
According to a recent study, a UBI of $1,000 per month in the US could actually grow the GDP by 12% over 8 years
67
because it would enable poor people to spend more and increase overall demand.
68
What about the people who do the dirty work?
69
Who will work in the fields, crawl through sewers, or lift pianos?
70
If you don't need to for survival, will people still do hard, boring and unfulfilling labour?
71
UBI might give them enough leverage to demand better pay and working conditions.
72
A study calculated that every extra dollar going to wage earners would add about $1.21 to the national economy,
73
while every extra dollar going to high-income Americans would add only 39 cents.
74
There would still be very rich and poor people, but we could eliminate fear, suffering and existential panic for a significant part of the population.
75
Making poor citizens better off could be a smart economic tactic.
76
For some, this isn't enough.
77
They want a UBI large enough to live a middle-class existence.
78
If we set the financial obstacle aside, this idea fundamentally challenges how our society is constructed.
79
By earning money, you earn the possibility to take part in society.
80
This determines your status and options, but it also forces many people into spending huge chunks of their time on things they don't care about.
81
In 2016, only 33% of US employees were engaged at work,
82
16% were actively miserable, and the remaining 51% were only physically present.
83
Would 67% of people stop working if they could?
84
It would be unfair to portray work as just a chore.
85
Work gives us something to do.
86
It challenges us.
87
It motivates us to improve.
88
It forces us to engage.
89
Many find friends or partners at work.
90
We work for social status, wealth and our place in the world.
91
We're looking for something to do with our lives.
92
And for many people, work gives them meaning.
93
There are other concerns with UBI.
94
If all welfare programs were exchanged for one single payment, payment, this gives the government a lot of leverage.
95
Individual programs are easier to attack or cut than a multitude.
96
Or populists might promise drastic changes to the UBI to get into power.
97
And a universal basic income doesn't tackle all problems when it comes to inequality.
98
Rents for example.
99
While $1,000 might be great in the countryside, it's not a lot for expensive metropolitan areas,
100
which could lead to poor people moving outwards and the difference between rich and poor becoming even more extreme.
101
And of course, for some people, the concept of work itself not being essential for survival is appalling.
102
So is the universal basic income a good idea?
103
The honest answer is that we don't know yet.
104
There needs to be a lot more research, more and bigger test runs.
105
We need to think about what kind of UBI we want and what we're prepared to give up to pay for it.
106
The potential is huge.
107
It might be the most promising model to sustainably eliminate poverty.
108
It might seriously reduce the amount of desperation in the world and make us all much less stressed out.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
