Guy Standing is a Professorial Research Associate at the School of Oriental and African Studies - SOAS, University of London.

In his TEDx talk, he shows us how "we'd better have nightmares about the future of milions of people who stand on the brim of unsustainable debt" and distribute everyone a basic income, in order to provide a sense of security and control over our own time - and in so doing, mend our broken income distribution system.
