One argument for UBI that’s come up in discussions on fossil fuel taxes is as a way to compensate those with the most precarious situation for burdens imposed on the public for the sake of the climate. A way to avoid situations like the french yellow vests. Suppose it partly falls under the efficiency argument
Yes, that's good. I don't think we talk about that directly, though we do discuss in some detail the idea that a UBI could serve as compensation for the use of natural resources that belong to humanity as a whole. We had in mind specifically Georgist arguments about land, but I think the argument applies equally well to atmospheric resources. An argument, if I recall correctly, that I first encountered in Peter Singer's book on globalization.
Ok, I think you’ve convinced me to purchase a copy
Thank you! I hope you like it. You'll have to let me know what you think.
