A technology superclass is taking over, while a new global underclass looms as inequality surges and algorithms displace work. Can humanity secure a fair share of this new economic order as tech billionaires like Sam Altman promise? And if not, what comes next? Join us for an exceptional evening of ideas and imagination with Philippe Van Parijs — the world’s most influential advocate for a Universal Basic Income — to trace the journey of an idea that's stirred thinkers and social‑justice advocates for half a millennium, from 16th‑century Flanders to 21st‑century Silicon Valley. (Hosted by award-winning journalist James Kanter)

City Stage is a live podcast show by The Brussels Times and EU Scream. The evening continues with drinks and informal conversations, offering a rare chance to engage with the ideas and with one another beyond the stage.
