Episode 3 – UBI: Poverty and social inequalities
It is said that we are born equal, but equal in what measure?
Reality shows that we are becoming ever more unequal. More than half of the world’s wealth is in the hands of only 1 per cent of the population. It is not getting rich that is worrying, it is the distribution of that wealth.
The Covid-19 pandemic showed that we’re not as strong as we thought, that we are all more vulnerable and that we cannot continue to survive in a world with so many inequalities.
All utopias start as an idea. Will this idea change the world? Yes? No? Maybe? You want to know more? Then come and learn about the UBI.
