In this video two Brazilian scholars discuss about the UBI (Universal Basic Income) proposal looking for the Brazilian reality. As the economic crisis triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic continues, several countries around the globe are looking to UBI as a way to support their populations. 

Comment from our editors:

Brazilian welfare system and social security institutionality are discussed in the light of UBI discussion which turned to be a hot topic during the pandemic as an important economic and social policy.

How should we discuss welfare when understanding the role of growth and the viability of Growth-led development? One option is to look at subjective happiness. This provides an anti-materialistic view which may superficially appear more compatible with significant reductions in consumption in order to remain within safe ecological limits.

Um der Klimakrise zu begegnen, müssen wir unsere Art zu wirtschaften radikal verändern. Ein großes Hindernis auf diesem Weg könnte die vorherrschende ökonomische Theorie sein. Denn der neoklassischen Wirtschaftswissenschaft ist es methodisch unmöglich, alternative Wirtschaftsformen abzubilden. Außerdem führt sie zu Politikempfehlungen, die systematisch die Möglichkeit einer Postwachstumswirtschaft ausblenden.
