Description
▼Should anyone be allowed to become a billionair...
Should anyone be allowed to become a billionaire? Should healthcare, education and other essential services be free? Is economic inequality fundamentally unfair, or actually necessary for a society to grow? And how much responsibility should governments have for making sure everyone gets a reasonable share?
Let's debate! We'll look at some of the biggest questions at the heart of every modern economy, questions where there are compelling arguments on both sides.
We'll use provocative motions and clash intelligently over wealth limits, universal basic income, free healthcare, taxation, public ownership, minimum wages, inheritance, profit and inequality. You don’t need to understand economics to take part: the ideas will be accessible, but the arguments can go as deep as you want. Choose a position, build your case, challenge the other side and perhaps discover that defending an economic system is much harder than criticising one. Expect passionate disagreement, surprising alliances and plenty of opportunities to rethink what a fair economy should actually look like. And of course, let's have fun doing it!
一个人应该被允许成为亿万富翁吗?医疗、教育和其他基本服务应该免费吗?经济不平等本质上是不公平的,还是社会发展中某种必要的存在?政府又应该承担多少责任,确保每个人都能分到相对合理的一份?
来辩论吧!我们会看看每个现代经济体核心深处的一些大问题,而这些问题往往正反双方都有很有说服力的观点。
我们会用一些带有挑战性的辩题,围绕财富上限、全民基本收入、免费医疗、税收、公共所有制、最低工资、继承、利润和不平等,进行一场有脑子的交锋。你不需要懂经济学也能参与:概念会讲得很好进入,但论证可以深入到你想去的程度。选择一个立场,建立你的论点,挑战对方,也许你会发现,捍卫一种经济系统,比批评它难多了。期待热烈的分歧、意想不到的联盟,以及很多重新思考“公平经济到底应该长什么样”的机会。当然,也要辩得开心!
