Money for everyone with Miriam Witz

Money isn't everything – but growing inequality in income and wealth around the world is threatening democracy. Money isn't everything, but financial constraints are an everyday issue for most people. Money isn't everything, but it is a crucial prerequisite for a free, healthy and self-determined life.

For decades, the ‘unconditional basic income’ has been cautiously discussed as a possible response to this situation. A fixed amount for everyone, a sum that is independent of performance or work. It is a thought experiment that is quite far removed from real political implementation. But would it even be an appropriate response?

Miriam Witz, project developer at Mein Grundeinkommen e. V. and campaign manager of the pilot project Grundeinkommen, talks about work, self-determination, well-being and finances, about the political and economic issues surrounding basic income and about the search for financial intergenerational justice in this episode of re:publicast with Jonas Ross.
