Does anyone else see an added benefit of a universal basic income, is that it could in a small way help disincentivize the revolving door between the public and private sector that sometimes results in regulatory capture?
No, that sounds like the most extreme version of UBI-as-panacea arguments I've seen yet. Why would the ability to earn $12k per annum for not trying to work have the slightest effect on ambitious high-flying executives' willingness to move from a very high-paying private sector role to a very high-paying regulatory role and back again?
