redistributive basic incomeGuardian

Idea of universal basic income as a possible solution is gaining traction.
The concept of a guaranteed basic income might seem novel or neoteric, but it dates back to 1795 .
Thomas Paine suggested a national fund should pay every adult “rich or poor” a “ground rent” of 10 a year until the age of 50 .
Autonomy is fundraising to run a micropilot that would give 15 people 1,600 a month for two years .
The only basic income pilot currently running in the UK is a Welsh government scheme for 600 young care leavers.
In the US , where there are currently more than 100 UBI pilots being explored or delivered, researchers have seen similar results.
AI may be the impetus for this radical change in thinking, especially if massive job losses do occur.
Research on the impact on participants of pilots in places with similar economies to the UK is so overwhelmingly positive that, he suggests, the resistance in government must be “ideological”.
