The aim of the conference is to examine (1) the intellectual content of basic income as it emerged in the 20th century, (2) the specific contexts in which it has attained popularity, (3) the role of institutions and networks in its global dissemination, and (4) the relationship between UBI and wider debates about social justice. We invite papers from researchers in the fields of History, Social Policy, Philosophy, Economics, Sociology, and History of Science.
