Hello! I am Karl Widerquist, Professor of Philosophy at Georgetown University-Qatar. Here’s proof it’s me. I recently published Universal Basic Income for the MIT Press's Essential Knowledge series. It is a short, solid introduction to UBI that answers the fundamental questions about it; What is UBI? How does it work? What are the arguments for and against it? What is the evidence?

In addition to these general questions, my book also considers:

• What is the history of UBI?

• What can we learn about UBI from UBI experiments?

• What can we learned a out UBI from the Alaska Dividend and other similar policies?

• How do AI and automation figure in the argument for UBI?

• How will UBI affect incentives?

• Is UBI good for workers?

• Is UBI good for women and people of cover?

• Does UBI conflict with the work ethic or the market economy?

That's a brief introduction. Please feel free to ask me anything, specific or general.

You can get my book, Universal Basic Income, through your local bookstore or wherever books are sold!
