Abstract

The article explores the possibility of living socially, living Labor between the work people do and the income they manage or do without, and examines social philosopher André Gorz's reasons for advocating unconditional universal basic income. To resist the capital relation is to refuse to forget that money is a social form. As money takes over people's lives, commodities mediate more of people's relations, and the immanent measure of equivalence, labor, becomes increasingly obscure.
