程度副詞

It's very difficult to follow a fantastic musician,

and then a beautiful woman with a baby robot.

Very difficult, especially as you're all looking forward to lunch.

And I want to take up the theme of this wonderful [TEDxLakeComo]

The first bridge I want to mention is that 800 years ago

a 10-year-old king, who didn't know what he was doing,

which guaranteed every man and woman in society

A right to a home, a right to work and live in the Commons.

He spent the next 50 years of his reign trying to reform that.

that if he tried, there would be a revolution,

because the people wanted to keep the right to a basic income.

as a bridge from 800 years ago to when I was a student,

and I came to believe that the only progressive policy to come

in response to the neoliberal economics that we were seeing develop

Let me first define it, and then talk about the second bridge.

if everyone of us in this room, and the children,

would have the right to a modest, regular payment from the State,

that would be unconditional in behavioural terms,

paid in cash - you can do what you like with it -

The rhetoric of the MoVimento 5 Stelle has started to change things,

but they don't quite mean the same thing as I might mean it -

today we are on the bridge, at the beginning,

that are blocking our path to a good society.

is that we are faced with a "tempesta perfetta" -

which are suddenly making the advocacy of a basic income

were regarded as mad, bad and dangerous to know.

Communist, idealist, utopian - you name it.

A lot of rude words were thrown in our direction.

this perfect storm has changed the dialogue,

So suddenly we're becoming almost respectable.

when before one would've been regarded as too mad to invite.

Now, what are these giants that are standing before us?

is that we are faced by incredible inequality.

and the technological changes, and the political changes

have resulted in a terrible model of capitalism

is absorbing and taking billions out of it,

this is a cause of all the other things I'm going to talk about.

So your plutocrats up here are making billions.

he has increased his income by 400 million dollars.

I haven't made 400 million dollar in the past six months!

And I dare to say, most of you are like that.

Now, these plutocrats, of course, are striding the Globe.

One of their people is in the White House,

and many others are in positions of power.

is that the income distribution system of the 20th century has broken down.

the share of income going to profits from capital and rents,

But in the last 30 years all over the world,

the share going to capital is going up, the share going to labour has gone down.

that our wages have been stagnating in real terms,

This story of inequality is unsustainable,

because there is nothing out there which is reversing this trend.

The second giant goes along with it: it's about chronic insecurity.

Millions of people out there, and I dare say in here as well,

Their lives are defined by a feeling of uncertainty.

And this insecurity cannot be insured against.

The shocks and the hazards go on, and it leads to what I call the four As.
