Part 7/8:
The speaker proposes the creation of an Economic Agency Index, which aims to measure individuals' economic agency through three primary components: wages, property ownership, and government transfers. The goal is to monitor how economic agency evolves, particularly in the face of diminishing wages and traditional employment structures.
Addressing Future Economic Challenges
Within the framework of post-labor economics, the speaker outlines potential interventions that could be made to ensure a robust economy despite changing labor landscapes. Universal Basic Income (UBI) is highlighted as one possible solution, ensuring that individuals maintain economic agency in a landscape where job numbers decrease.
