How would basic income work if scaled up?, Tom Lawson asks.
What would you do if you could earn a modest regular income without having to go to work? Sit passively at home, or use your new freedom constructively? Citizens in Utrecht will find out when their city tests the feasibility of a universal basic income this autumn.
The year-long experiment – by city officials and Utrecht University – will see 250 participants receive $980-$1,415 a month for basic living costs such as healthcare and groceries.
