Guaranteed Minimum Agriculture. Why Basic Jobs might fare better than UBI
This is a post about the idea of Basic Jobs. In summary: Instead of paying everyone unconditionally and hoping for positive results, we are probably better off with a program that pays people to create positive externalities for their community. Paying people to create value that would otherwise be not economically feasible is a more directed and intelligent approach to welfare than merely spreading the proverbial hay. Basic Jobs may be less perfect in who it helps, but its also a less fragile system.
Generally when you optimize for something, you risk getting a lot more of it. UBI’s blanket-of-money approach optimizes for a certain kind of poverty, but it may create more in the long run. Basic Jobs introduce work and opportunity for communities, which may be a better welfare optimization strategy, and we could do it while keeping a targeted approach to aiding the poorest.
