The Progressive Case for Replacing the Welfare State with Universal Basic Income
Channel: Scott Santens
Date: 17/05/2019

Back in 2016, I pitched an article to TechCrunch about explaining the progressive case for replacing welfare programs with universal basic income. This is the article I wrote which continues to be widely shared by readers as one of their favorites of mine, especially now that Andrew Yang is running for president on a UBI design that offers people the choice of #basicincome or welfare.
