Abstract

Birnbaum suggests that many of the strongest arguments in debates on Basic Income are not primarily based on empirical evidence about its impact on widely shared objectives. Instead, they are driven by ethical convictions, reflecting conflicting views on the requirements of central values, such as humanity, utility, freedom, reciprocity, equal opportunity, or non-domination. Articulating and addressing such convictions, this chapter argues that arguments on (1) poverty prevention and well-being, (2) fairness and pre-distribution and, finally (3) the preconditions for citizens to interact as equals, offer three promising and complementary routes for showing that a well-designed Basic Income scheme is indeed ethically justified.
