About the Author
Guy Standing is a renowned British economist and social theorist, celebrated for his pioneering work on the precariat—a new class of workers facing insecurity in the global economy. With decades of experience as a professor at the University of London and co-founder of BIEN (Basic Income Earth Network), Standing has influenced policy debates worldwide on labor rights, economic inequality, and social welfare. His accessible yet rigorous analyses challenge conventional economic paradigms, advocating for universal basic income as a solution to modern poverty and instability. Through extensive fieldwork in Asia, Africa, and Europe, he bridges academic research with practical activism, inspiring movements for fairer societies. Standing's insights continue to shape discussions on the future of work in an era of automation and globalization.
