Guy Standing is a British economist, professor at SOAS University of London, and co-founder of the Basic Income Earth Network. He is one of the world's leading advocates for universal basic income and has written extensively on the precariat — the growing class of people living without security or predictability. The Politics of Time examines how time has been commodified and controlled, and argues for a fairer distribution of time as a fundamental resource. His audiobooks and books are influential contributions to progressive economic thinking.
