Channel: Ameer Rosic
Date: 2019-09-25

Technology created and is now destroying the middle class. Floyd Marinescu - CEO Activist for Universal Basic Income talks about how UBI is a way to make winner takes all economics act in service to humanity by paying a dividend in the form of a UBI.

UBI is also known simply as basic income. According to the advocacy group Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN), the essential principle behind basic income is the idea that all citizens are entitled to a livable income, whether or not they contribute to the production and despite the particular circumstances into which they are born

BIEN lists the following five defining characteristics of basic income:

Periodic: Distributed in regular payments, Cash payment: Distributed as funds rather than, for example, vouchers for goods or services.
Individual: Each citizen (or adult citizen) receives the payment, rather than each household.
Universal: All citizens receive the payment.
Unconditional: Recipients are not required to demonstrate need or willingness to work.
