It could certainly spell doom for future UBI proposals if the first prominent implementation goes badly, and it could be that it went badly due to factors that are simply not as prevalent in the West.
- scotty79 10y agoI think UBI will fare way worse int the West because of how many people rent places to live. UBI will get mostly sucked by landlords.
- Integer 10y agoHow about Eastern Europe? There are some extremely poor, yet relatively educated countries, and due to the Soviet legacy, the majority owns the places they live in.
- scotty79 10y agoYes. This should work. Maybe even in Poland, surely east of Poland. In the west I think UBI won't work well unless people who own a lot of real estate are incentivised to sell some with progressive real estate tax.
