The pirate party in Germany had this as one of their ideas (Grundeinkommen), not sure if they still do. I like this. My basic economic instincts scream "nonsense" but I like testing it even if the test results are likely useless because the city is still surrounded by "normal" ones. Reminds me a bit of the socialist calculation debate. There's enough money wasted on stuff I consider more useless and at least this experiment has the potential to generate surprises. I'm all for experimenting with economic systems, worst case it generates some new ideas.
