What policies can tackle the cost-of-living crisis? What’s the case for a basic universal income? Can debt-free sovereign money help lift us out of the crisis?
The CTNTE is happy to announce our first conference since the global pandemic started. This conference will explore policies that could tackle the current cost-of-living crisis. The cost-of-living crisis, referring to the fall in real disposable incomes, has affected us all to varying degrees. Dysfunctionality in western economies has led to a situation where wage and work are no longer sufficient for income adequacy, and a new policy paradigm is needed to deliver adequate household income and reduce national debt.
Our speakers will cover a range of topics, including the macroeconomic implications of basic income; the role of technology in reducing labour income, leading to a macroeconomic case for a universal basic income; funding basic income by direct money financing; the links between wealth and income, and their implications for basic income; and national solutions to the spiralling costs of living.
