The interesting part in the article is that in order to receive this payment, you have to be actively looking for work. Not sure how this is measured, but the qualification makes it philosophically different from the unconditional wage being advocated.
- grecy 13y agoThanks for the link update. You are right, you must apply for x jobs per month, and keep a logbook of that activity. In that sense, yes, it's philosophically different from the unconditional wage, but it's a good example of the effect on society (no extreme poverty, huge middle class, higher taxes, etc.)
