“If universal basic income (UBI) is an essential means of drastically reducing, or even eliminating, poverty, then its cost is always fair, says Roberto Merrill, professor of political philosophy at the University of Minho in Braga, researcher at the Centre for Ethics, Politics and Society at the same university, where he coordinates the UBIEXP project on unconditional basic income. At the same time, with his evidence, he refutes the claims of the critics of universal basic income, and, referring to the rest of the world, he says that a universal basic income in Greece costs the same as all its military expenditure.”
