Is now the right time for a basic income? In episode two, Nathaniel is joined by Evelyn Forget, a health economist and professor at the University of Manitoba, and expert in basic income experiments. They discuss the evidence from pilots and existing programs in Canada, the new Emergency Response Benefit, and whether a basic income is the right approach to manage the economic fallout from COVID-19.
