Unconditional Autonomy Allowance and Degrowth – Vincent Liegey

The sustainability transition ecological economists urge would mean that we radically transform our economies and societies. Such a transformation is not without disruptions and therefore we need tools to make it just. Our guest today, Vincent Liegey argues that the Unconditional Autonomy Allowance, in which all citizens are provided with guarantees to a minimum sustenance without any conditionality is just the tool we need in Degrowth transitions. It not only mitigates the insecurities around the changes and starts the redistribution much needed for a just and sustainable world but also helps decolonising our imaginaries.
