Hansae Catlett, MBA ’18: Free Money: Eradicating Old-Fashioned Poverty with an Old-Fashioned Idea

Silicon Valley has recently taken up the idea of a basic income, rationalizing its implementation on the basis of impending automation and structural unemployment. However, the power of a basic income as a tool for social justice and as an economic right has been lost. In his talk, Hansae Catlett, MBA/MPP student at Stanford, seeks to remind us of the origins of the basic income and its power to address poverty in America. In a methodical fashion, he walks through three primary concerns with a basic income, addressing each with evidence-based and empathy-based arguments. LOWkeynotes provides students at Stanford Graduate School of Business the opportunity to develop and showcase presentations on ideas that engage us with thoughtful conversation in order to better the world. These talks coincide with the school’s mission – to change lives, organizations, and the world. Learn more: https://stanford.io/LOWkeynotes
