Gentrification is extremely local, tied to a specific area. UBI is tied to people. All people. In all locations. No mater where they go. The dynamics are couldn’t be more different.
Would it be all people in all locations or just people in (parts of) the global north? If the global south is included or excluded, how would UBI impact the current unequal transfer of value from the global south to the north? Can the north afford UBI without super-exploiting the south same will a UBI in the south undermine that super-exploitation?
In other words: will the north allow the south to implement any kind of UBI, given the terms and framework of IMF/WTO/World Bank?
The crux of these questions is: what affect will UBI have on global inequality?
Edit: I don’t expect answers to these questions. It would take a book to answer each one. It’s just something to think about.
