The Economics group:
- attended a lecture on Tuesday, Feb 20 entitled "Beveridge Rebooted: a basic income for every citizen?" which featured several high profile participants in the basic income debate including an economist, a political scientist, an activist and a Guardian journalist. While the U.S. is still very far from introducing basic income, there are growing calls (eg from Silicon Valley) to explore the concept.
- will hold its next meeting on Monday, March 5th: a teach-in on Piketty (Capital in the 21st Century) and readthrough for income and wealth inequality in the US
