New podcast A discussion with authors Evelyn Forget and Hannah Owczar, whose excellent new book Radical Trust: Basic Income for Complicated Lives shares the voices of Canadians' "complicated lives" exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Canada can afford a basic income, as well as a complement of social services. They argue basic income could be a shift from paternalistic poverty interventions toward a public policy based on "the radical trust that each of us knows what we need to live better lives."
