Description
Episode Description
As president, Democratic Senator Kamala Harris wants to give up to $6,000 to working families each year... as a tax credit. Entrepreneur Andrew Yang also in the presidential race, wants to give $1000 dollars a month to every American over 18... no questions asked, no strings attached. He’s calling it the Freedom Dividend. Both of these proposals are based on an idea that’s been around for a while-- Basic Income--or Universal Basic Income. In light of the renewed attention it’s getting in the 2020 presidential race, Inflection Point host Lauren Schiller brings back a story about an experiment with basic income taking place right now in Stockton, California. In this story, she asks...”Could this be what a feminist economy looks like?” Features interviews with Stockton Mayor Michael Tubbs; Natalie Foster, founder of The Economic Security Project, and the social scientists researching the outcomes.
