UBI versus JG: Difference in Values

• MMT advocates strongly emphasize value of employment to individual and society

  • Minsky, Mitchell, Wray, Kelton, Tcherneva

• (Some) UBI advocates say UBI necessitated by impact of automation and artifical intelligence (AI) on jobs

  • Say jobs are ultimately irrelevant except as providing money for consumption spending

  • See displacement of jobs by automation as a Good and Inevitable Thing

  • Propose UBI as way to keep consumption spending going
