Basic income and the freedom to lead a good life and Hartmut Rosa

© 2018 selection and editorial matter, Hartmut Rosa and Christoph Henning; individual chapters, the contributors. How can poverty and unemployment best be addressed? 1 The 20th century’s received wisdom was clear: through growth. The growth of production will generate jobs and thereby provide directly a decent income to the bulk of the population. It will provide indirectly an income to the others through social insurance benefits to which these are entitled thanks to their past employment. The strong positive correlation between poverty and unemployment and the strong negative correlation between unemployment and growth were sufficient to make this strategy self-evident to many.
