Public interest in UBI is rising across Europe and beyond, driven by demands for guaranteed security and framed as a dignity-preserving response to globalization and technological change. While UBI draws support and critique across the political spectrum, we argue it poses serious risks to human liberty, dignity, and flourishing—and that economic objections alone won’t shift policy or public imagination toward agency-based alternatives.
Our project will build a multidisciplinary research repository and a clearer narrative contrasting agency-based and UBI-based solutions, shared through publications, seminars, podcasts, video explainers, and conference presentations to spark interdisciplinary dialogue.
