Why does our society have a safety net of welfare programs and government assistance? What conditions have made these things necessary? Is it normal for the economy to leave some people behind in such a way that they need a safety net? Does it make sense to think of basic income as part of the safety net, or as something else entirely?

For optional reading this week we have a June 2020 article from the Brookings Institute "Up Front" blog by Henry J. Aaron entitled "The social safety net: The gaps that COVID-19 spotlights"

Previous related Boston Basic Income topics have included: "The Nature of Poverty," "Meritocracy and Entitlement," "Basic Income vs. Job Guarantee," "A World Without Basic Income," "Minimum Wage," and "Bolsa Família."
