More on Basic Income Guarantee: Minimum Wage is Not a Longterm Solution

On Monday I posted about looking for a Research Assistant primarily to look into questions around using Basic Income Guarantees as a way to deal with what I believe is the end of work as we know it. Then yesterday Fred wrote a terrific post on the Limits of Capitalism and linked to my earlier post driving more traffic to it. The net result is that I now have many wonderful folks interested in helping out and will be sorting through that over the weekend. In the meantime though I wanted to add...
