(last updated on 2026/01/16)Abstract:
This article presents a defence of the demand for a basic income against recent critiques from within the Left. Drawing on a series of lessons from the 1970s-era demand for Wages for Housework, it argues in favour of a universal basic income as a coalitional, antiproductivist, antifamilial reform that can help to alleviate some of the ways in which the current wage-and-family system miscounts our economic contributions and fails as a system of income distribution.
