Universal Income, Building Your Brand, Story to Live By

Universal Basic income (17:42) Dr. Katharina Nieswandt is currently an assistant professor of Philosophy at Concordia University. With today’s increasingly advanced technology, automated machines are quickly taking the place of humans in the work force.   Examples of this phenomena are popping up around the country in the form of self-driving cars, buses, and man-less stores.  Even though less humans are actually working, should we still get paid for a job a machine can do?  Dr. Katharina Nieswandt explains what Universal Basic income is and if it will be part of our future.
