Earlier this year, the Dutch Basic Income Association (Vereniging Basisinkomen) celebrated its 25th year with a conference in Maastricht. For three days in January, approximately 150 people–politicians, councilors, scholars and activists–gathered in the city to discuss the various controversies and misunderstandings relating to definitions in the Netherlands about all kinds of initiatives concerning the universal basic income (UBI).
Professor Luc Soete, professor of International Economic Relations at the School of Business and Economics (SBE), shares his ideas about UBI in the following interview.
