Basic Income and Development
Proceedings of the FRIBIS Annual Conference 2022
herausgegeben von: Bernhard Neumärker, Jessica Schulz

The second annual FRIBIS conference in October 2022 gave an opportunity to reflect on global developments and challenges through Basic Income research and advocacy. The three-day conference consisted of three keynotes, all focusing on current international challenges and ways in which societies could encounter them with basic income. The main conference was organized by the two international FRIBIS Teams: Water-Energy-Food Nexus and Foreign Aid Basic Income (WEF_FABI) together with Basic Income for Nature and Climate (BINC). Parallel sessions from other FRIBIS teams and members as well as external researchers and advocates from multiple disciplines and fields of expertise completed the program. A selection of the contributions is available in this volume.

Grundeinkommen braucht Europa – Europa braucht Grundeinkommen
herausgegeben von: Otto Lüdemann, Bernhard Neumärker, Ulrich Schachtschneider

Ohne eine Strategie des Ausgleichs zwischen reicheren und ärmeren Mitgliedsstaaten ist der soziale Zusammenhalt in der Europäischen Union gefährdet. Hier allein auf eine Angleichung der Wirtschaftskraft zu setzen, wird nicht funktionieren. Die EU braucht eine soziale Säule, um die Disparitäten bei der ökonomischen Leistungsfähigkeit ansatzweise auszugleichen. Die Einführung eines Grundeinkommens könnte diese Säule sein: als eine solidarische, möglichst unbürokratische Existenzsicherung für alle Europäerinnen und Europäer. Der 2013 von Philippe Van Parijs eingebrachte Vorschlag einer Euro-Dividende bildet den Startpunkt für diesen Debattenband.

Financial Issues of a Universal Basic Income (UBI)
Proceedings of the FRIBIS Annual Conference 2021
herausgegeben von: Bernhard Neumärker, Jessica Schulz

The first annual FRIBIS conference in October 2021 aimed to take into account the growing economic interest in financial issues in basic income research. After all, research on Unconditional Basic Income is significantly influenced by this development of monetary policy issues and, in turn, contributes just as influentially to the discussion. In addition to the economically focused main sessions, the two-day conference also included parallel sessions of other FRIBIS teams, in which prominent guests of the basic income discourse presented and discussed together with the interdisciplinary and international teams and members of FRIBIS.
