SYNOPSIS:
If the cost of living can be subsidised, should it be subsidised? A companion piece to The Future of Work and Death, The Cost of Living is a documentary that explores the current socio-economic state of Britain and whether or not a basic income could remedy the sociological toll of a growing precarious class. The film focuses on the feasibility of a basic income, John Rawls' theory of justice, automation and ultimately asks should there still be a cost attributed to survival?
