  • Personal Statement from Philippe Van Parijs, Candidate for Chair of the International Advisory Board
    Personal statement from Philippe Van Parijs, candidate for Chair of the International Advisory Board My reasons for being willing to keep serving BIEN as chair of its International Advisory Board (IAB) (1) My view of the function of the IAB as a modest form of counterpower: its sheer existence means that there is one organ distinct from the EC that could, if needed, express a position with some authority. This has not been needed so far and hopefully never will. (2) My view of the potentially useful twofold role of the chair of the IAB, in the light of my experience in the last 16 years: - give advice and provide information, at their request, to BIEN’s chairs, co-chairs, vice- chairs, general manager and other members of BIEN’s committee; - by virtue of not being a member of the EC yet trusted by the GA, follow BIEN’s life and in particular its formal proceedings more closely than other ordinary members so as to help the GA play effectively its own role of supporting the EC and holding it to account. My “qualifications and experience relevant to the post” Philippe Van Parijs convened the « first international conference on basic income » (Louvain-la- Neuve, September 1986), which saw the creation of the Basic Income European Network (BIEN). He combined the functions BIEN secretary and newsletter editor for most of BIEN’s life prior to its becoming the Basic Income Earth Network (Barcelona, September 2004). He was then elected chair of BIEN’s advisory board and was reelected to that function ever since.

  • Vinea Electa
    VINEA ELECTA Bollettino informativo dell'Associazione ex-alunni/e del Pontificio Istituto Biblico Num. O- Anno 1999 EDITORIALE Con questo numero di «Vinea Electa» cominciamo ciò che speriamo si svilupperà in un bollettino annuale per gli ex-alunni ed ex-alunne del Pontificio Istituto Biblico. Il nome del bollettino viene presentato provvisoriamente come «Vinca electa». Queste parole, prese dalla Scrittura (Ger 2,21 ), sono le prime, e quindi il titolo, della Lettera Apostolica con la quale fu fondato l'Istituto il 7 maggio 1909: Vinea electa sacrae Scripturae lff uberiores in dies .fi·uctus tum Ecc/esiae Pastoribus tumfidelibus tmiversis afferret, iam buie ab exordio apostolici Nostri regiminis, decessorum Nostrorum vestigiis insistelltes, omni ope contendimus... ltaque [ ... l Polllijicium lnstitlllum Biblicum in /wc alma Urbe, apostolica Nostra auctoritate, tenore praesellfium, motu proprio, de certaque scientia ac matllra deliberatione Nostris, erigimus ... La lettera porta la finna del Cardinale Merry del Val, Segretario di Stato, «per speciale mandato di Sua Santità (S. Pio X)». Queste parole «Vinea electa» sono pertanto intimamente connesse con l'Istituto, e in sé costituiscono una descrizione applicata alla Sacra Scrittura così bella che sembra opportuno prenderle come titolo. (Per la precisione tale titolo è stato suggerito da Maria Luisa Rigato, consigliere dell'Associazione). Tale titolo è tuttavia provvisorio come del resto è provvisoria tutta l'imposta­ zione del bollettino. Il fatto che porti il numero «0» indica chiaramente che la sua carriera non è ancora cominciata. Vogliamo, Direttore e consiglieri, avere la reazione di voi, ex-alunni c ex-alunne. Vorremmo iniziare modestamente per evitare spreco di energie e denaro, per poi sviluppare il bollettino in una maniera piacevole a voi tutti.

  • Arguments for Basic Income, Universal Pensions and Universal
    Money for nothing? Arguments for basic income, universal pensions and universal child benefits in Norway Christian Petersen Master thesis Department of Comparative Politics University of Bergen June 2014 Abstract Basic income is a radical idea which has gained more attention in many countries in recent years, as traditional welfare states are having trouble solving the problems they were created to solve. Basic income promises to solve many of these problems in an effective and simple way. The purpose of this thesis is to study basic income in a way which can supplement the existing literature, and make it relevant in a Norwegian perspective. Hopefully this can contribute towards placing basic income on the political agenda and in the public debate. A large amount of literature is written on basic income, but by comparing the arguments used to promote a basic income with empirical data from previously implemented social policy in Norway, I hope to contribute towards an area which is not well covered. To do this I identify the arguments used to promote a basic income, and compare them to the arguments used to promote other universal social policy in Norway at the time they were introduced. The empirical cases of the universal child benefit and the universal old age pension in Norway has been chosen, because they resemble a basic income in many ways. The study is of a qualitative nature, and the method of document analysis is used to conduct the study. The data material for basic income is mainly scholarly literature. The data materials used for the analysis of the child benefit scheme and the old age pension are government documents, mainly preparatory work for new laws, legal propositions put forward in parliament, white papers, and transcripts of debates in parliament.

EDITORIAL: Tribute to André Gorz French social philosopher and journalist André Gorz (born in 1923) committed suicide with his wife in their home in Vosnon (France), and was found dead on September 24, 2007. Gorz was one of the most prominent advocates of an unconditional basic income. In his classic essays on work, socialism, or green politics, he had first expressed some scepticism with regard to the idea of an —income by right“. His chapter in Arguing for Basic Income (edited by Philippe Van Parijs, Verso, 1996) was significantly entitled: —On the Difference between Society and Community, and W hy Basic Income Cannot by itself Confer Full Membership of Either“.

  • The Citizen's Basic Income As an Instrument to Help the Transition to Democracy
    The Citizen’s Basic Income to Build Democracy and Justice Essay presented to NOPOOR Project in Paris, June 12 2012 1 Eduardo Matarazzo Suplicy It is an honor for me to be invited to participate in this Kick-off Meeting of the NOPOOR Project, organized by the Development Institutions & Mondialization, DIAL, and the Institut de Recherche pour le Development, IRD, in Paris June 11th to 13th. It is, undoubtedly, a very relevant opportunity to exchange ideas about the experiences of so many countries, in the five continents, about how we can raise the level of justice in our societies, with freedom, by democratic means, so as to live with a sense of solidarity and peace. As a Brazilian Senator, member of the Workers’ Party (Partido dos Trabalhadores), author of Law 10.835/2004, that institutes a Citizen’s Basic Income to all residents of Brazil, including those foreigners who have lived in Brazil for five years or more, no matter the origin, race, sex, age or socioeconomic condition, and also Co-President of Honor of the Basic Income Earth Network – BIEN – I am happy to bring you information about what is going on in my country, and about the development of this proposal in other parts of the world. According to the law, approved by consensus of all parties, in December 2002 in the Federal Senate, and in December 2003, in the Chamber of Deputies, and then sanctioned by President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in January 8th, 2004, the Citizen’s Basic Income will be an annual monetary benefit, equal to all, sufficient to attend the basic needs of each person.

  • Five Questions to Philosopher Philippe Van Parijs on Unconditional Basic Income and the Pandemic
    Five Questions to philosopher Philippe Van Parijs on unconditional basic income and the pandemic For The Brussels Times, September 2020 The Summer 2020 special issue of Prospect Magazine featured “the world's top 50 thinkers for the Covid-19 age”. You are one of them, as “the godfather of the UBI movement”. According to the magazine, “today's young UBI enthusiasts draw on the books and tap the networks of this Belgian polymath, who championed the idea of an unconditional basic income before it was fashionable”. What justifies your promotion to “godfather” is no doubt in part the fact that you convened in 1986 in Louvain-la-Neuve the first international conference on basic income, which saw the birth of BIEN, a network that now spans the whole world (https://basicincome.org) and whose advisory board you still chair. You also published several books on UBI, including its by now classic philosophical justification (Real Freedom for All. What (if anything) can justify capitalism?, Oxford University Press, 1995) and also, recently, an authoritative overview of all aspects of the — henceforth worldwide — discussion (Basic Income. A radical proposal for a free society and a sane economy, Harvard University Press, 2017, with Yannick Vanderborght), already translated into several languages, including Chinese and Korean. Has UBI’s hour finally come? In these forty years, I have learned not to get excited too quickly. It is true that the idea is coming up right, left and centre. But there are several versions, with distinct purposes. One purpose is to ensure that no one ends up with no income for weeks on end as a result of the lockdown imposed by a government.
