“One of the terrible things that poverty does to people is that it takes away their freedom of choice. Even when they’re receiving services in the form of food stamps, soup kitchens, and homeless shelters, they’re not getting to decide how to allocate resources. The government or social service agencies decide for them. And so, implicit in the idea of a basic income is the premise that you, the recipient, can determine your own path.” Daniel Hemel, Professor of Law at New York University School of Law

In Spring 2025, Hemel is co-teaching a new course, Basic Income Lab Seminar, with Adjunct Professor of Law Sarah Blanton, in which students will work on implementing a cash transfer program of their own.
