 The role of employment rents in basic income financing. On chapter IV of "Real Freedom for All" (Van Parijs, 1995)Le rôle des "rentes d'emploi" dans le financement de l'allocation universelle. A propos du chapitre IV de "Real Freedom for All" (Van Parijs, 1995)Post-Print from HAL Abstract: In his recent book (1995), Van Parijs is concerned with the philosophical and economic foundations of the project of basic income and the problem of its "sustainable" financing is treated in Chapter IV. Beyond people's "external" and "internal" endowments, "employment rents" are considered as a third type of resources, which may make larger the fiscal establishment of the financing. As these rents would not be easily exploited, we present in this paper another strategy, which is based on the "Walrasian" flexibility of wages. Moreover this strategy is able to deduce a relative contradiction between Van Parijs' choice in favour of employment rents and his ambition of making capitalism "optimal".
