"Finland’s basic income experiment is unworkable, uneconomical and ultimately useless." writes the author of the Bloomberg article [emphasis added]. This article is not the concept of a basic income; it is specific to the particular choices made for the Finnish experiment.
The content is disappointing. The article collects opinions about the the Finnish experiment primarily from detractors and presents only hearsay anecdotal evidence for strongly held conclusions.
The present pilot program is small,selective, and embedded in the existing economy. I suspect that it will work only when scaled up to the economy as a whole.
