Univerzalni temeljni dohodek (UTD) - o svobodi in revščini

Srdanović, Milica (author), Vodovnik, Žiga (mentor)

Ideja univerzalnega temeljnega dohodka zadnje čase vzburja javnost. Čeprav se javnosti zdi, da gre za nekaj novega, ideja UTD kot družbenoekonomski koncept obstaja že dolgo časa, ko se je v aktualnih razpravah pojavila pred kratkim zaradi želje po novih, alternativnih rešitvah perečih problemov. UTD kot koncept odpira veliko vprašanj. V nalogi smo si zastavili vprašanje: Ali so revni lahko svobodni? Cilj naloge je spodbuditi bralce h kritičnemu razmišljanju ne le o ideji UTD, ampak tudi o revščini, katere morebitna rešitev na poti k svobodi ljudi je UTD. Svobodo bomo obravnavali z republikansko teorijo in teorijo dejanske svobode, katero lahko uvrstimo v kontekst leve libertarne tradicije. V republikanski teoriji je svoboda pogojena z materialnimi viri, v okviru teorije dejanske svobode pa Van Parijs pravi, da formalna svoboda ni popolna brez dejanske svobode – je pomembna vrednost svobode. Raventós ugotavlja, da vsakdo, čigar materialni obstoj je vse bolj negotov, trpi tudi temu ustrezno erozijo osebne svobode.

Abstract

Recently, the notion of UBI has been exciting the public. Contrary to popular opinions the idea is not new, UBI has existed for a long time as a socio-economic concept while the current debate has arisen as part of a set of alternative responses to ‘burning’ issues. UBI as a concept poses many questions and the one I am posing in my dissertation is ‘Can the poor be free?’ The aim of this dissertation is to instigate the reader to critical thinking not only about UBI but about poverty which may be resolved by UBI in an attempt at liberation. We have discussed freedom by means of the republican theory and ‘real freedom’ theory which forms part of the left, libertarian tradition. In the republican theory freedom is conditioned by material means. In the context of 'real freedom theory' Van Parijs notes that formal freedom is incomplete without real freedom – important is 'the value' of the freedom . Raventos concludes that anyone living under precarious material living conditions is, in fact, subject to an erosion of their freedom.
