Universal Basic Income

[skyfall123]

Interesting paper, but there is one major problem. It's about the UK. Most of the posts in this thread are specific to the U.S. Plus, this article has said that the U.S. has experimented with a form of welfare that is similar to what they're proposing.

I thought the thread (and therefore the comments) was supposed to be about the idea of Universal Basic Income, which is not a new idea or a US specific idea. I thought it might be refreshing to read a well thought out paper about UBI and the challenges all countries face in implementing a version of it in today's economic and political climate. Here is shorter version of the same subject http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/0...sic-income
