A viewer recently asked us what Words & Numbers thought of Universal Basic Income.

Antony Davies likes the idea of it, provided it’s done well, but doesn’t think it could ever possibly be done well. But what about a theoretical UBI?

Harrigan tackle the issue that’s getting a lot of attention in Silicon Valley.
