Un article de Kate McFarland signale la sortie d’un numéro de Praktyka Teoretyczna (Pratique Théorique) consacré au revenu de base et à l’emploi garanti.
Disponible uniquement en polonais, la revue présente divers points de vue sur ces deux mesures afin de les comparer et d’évaluer leurs mérites respectifs en terme d’effets socioéconomiques, de budget, d’écologie…
Mariusz Baranowski and Bartosz Mika compare basic income and job guarantee programs with respect to a variety of metrics, including funding and cost, impact on existing social security systems, impact on income inequality, and emancipatory effects, ultimately favoring a job guarantee. Pavlina Tcherneva investigates the relative macroeconomic impacts expected from the two types of policies, arguing that a job guarantee possesses an economic stabilizing effect not possessed by basic income. Further, Tcherneva argues that a job guarantee has a greater potential to contribute to sustainable development and ecological goals.Kate McFarland
