Basic Income Guarantee

Mark Walker

Chapter Chapter 1 in Free Money for All, 2016, pp 1-17 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Imagine this scenario. You are an anthropologist leading a team to investigate reports that there are human fossils in Antarctica. On the way there, to avoid a menacing cyclone, the ship’s captain deviates from the planned route into less-traveled waters. The detour is lucky for you. You stumble onto the find of a lifetime: an unknown population on a remote South Pacific island. After checking several databases just to be sure, you confirm that the premodern indigenous population has almost certainly had no contact with the rest of the world for centuries, perhaps millennia. Although professional and international treaties prohibit you from brazenly making first contact, your team consults with UN officials via radio and is given permission to study the tribe from afar—so long as you remain undetected.
