I think the trick would be to increase interest rates (deflationary, mostly for assets) and implement UBI simultaneously (inflationary, mostly for consumables).

I think the trick would be to increase interest rates (deflationary, mostly for assets) and implement UBI simultaneously (inflationary, mostly for consumables). The increasing cost of debt will sink asset prices, houses most of all, while the UBI cancels out the systemic deflationary forces that result from that. I think the net effect of this would drive investment into more productive and less rent-seeking areas, incentivize a lot more innovation, and also significantly reduce the wealth gap. But that's just me.
