Robert castigates the Universal Benefit system and makes the case for a job guarantee by the state

“the problem is aggregate under-demand for labor, not a surplus supply of the wrong kind of labor.The only escape from such a system is to replace fantasy with reality. If the UK’s private sector cannot in normal times provide decently paid jobs for all those willing and able to work, the state should step in with a public-sector job guarantee
