Chapter Chapter 5 in The Kyoto Post-COVID Manifesto For Global Economics, 2022, pp 83-91 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract “But, what about the very poor?”—the opening question of the Chapter. They must not be forgotten when building a new Global Economics for the Future. Indeed, given the underlying value of care that is central to this Book’s economic philosophy and strategy, we have to be fully inclusive. A Universal Basic Income (UBI) offers real hope, but perhaps appears a ‘bridge too far’ in poor countries. This is not necessarily so however. Basing argument on empirical experiments and practices now in a number of developing countries, this chapter demonstrates the very real applicability of UBI in very poor national situations—adjusted in economic terms to relate, and, as with advanced economies, also delivered within a deliberatively nutritive, skill-development, enterprise supportive and community empowered environment.
