Universal basic income

Have you heard about the concept of a universal basic income?  

Do you think it could work?  

Is it a human right?  

Would it discourage work?

All of these questions and more are central to the issue which is a complicated one.

Since we have about two weeks before we meet again, I am attaching two more links for those of you that want extra 'homework.'  The first is an article that is longer and written at a higher level, and the second is a video about a UBI program in Canada.  I do hope you find time to read through it all.
