Nordic nations are often referred to as Democratic Socialist , well a Rose by any other name, I will concede they are not Socialist , their economies are for the most part not state run , and are totally market friendly in some ways more than the USA economy , but they have generous welfare and labour measures and protect workers and emphasize a good quality of life, some call tis social democracy , but the term isn't important, what is important is that the Nordic Model makes capitalism work

This debate is about Universal Basic Income (UBI), a definition of which is included in the description of this debate. UBI is an idea that has recently captured my imagination and appeals deeply to my moral sensibilities. In this debate, however, I will be arguing against UBI. For the full debate topic, definitions, the debate's rules, consult the "full description." Acceptance of this debate constitutes acceptance of these rules and definitions.
