Caplan-Wilkinson Universal Basic Income Debate

At this year’s 10th Anniversary Students for Liberty conference, I’m debating Will Wilkinson on, “Should libertarians support a Universal Basic Income?”  My answer is an emphatic no.  Not only libertarians but liberals, conservatives, and reality-based socialists should oppose this populist earworm.  In a world of limited resource, means-testing is always the way to go.  Indeed, I struggle to pass the Ideological Turing Test here, but I’ll sincerely try.

Question: Any sub-topics you’d like us to address?  Please share in the comments.
