Imagine alternative economic paradigms, focusing on the urgent need to get adequate income to all households whilst reducing national debt. Technology is essential for the understanding of economic outcomes, since consumption, production, employment, distribution and transactions all shift radically with technological change.In this book, Geoff Crocker offers a radical re-interpretation of economic theory, specifically of income, money and technology.Major policy proposals include hybrid welfare schemes with reduced conditionality, an element of universal income, and a proposal for direct money financing of government expenditure, all without stocking inflation.Geoff Crocker writes on basic income at ubi.org and contributes to research on the macroeconomic feasability of universal basic income and debt-free sovereign money. His career spans several decades in technology strategy, consulting for government agencies, large multinationals and small and medium-sized entreprises. He is also Chair of Bristol Care Homes.He will be in conversation with Andrew Kelly, director of Bristol Ideas.
